lyrics

I have heard the shouts of the running river's mouth
of the bluebird and the lemonade springs
I saw the wagon slain by a dragon
and the earth was bound by rail and burned for steam
the Yellowstone Child out looking for a wild love
running from the life she was lost in
in the flooding of the plains I saw her through the rain
I said I'd take her hand for the crossing

She sang of milk and honey of the wilderness above me
of crystals in the hills and in the fountains
In our boots we sank as we stood along the banks
and watched the jungle fires burn in the mountains
That night upon the edge I was holding to her dress
I remember how it poured, oh it poured
the colors of her eyes and her honeyed goodbyes
were flooded by the raging river's roar

I remember how I dreamt of holding the gem
of a wild and promised land
where together we could sleep where sweetgrass grows deep
Now all I dream is her slipping through my hands
because I watched my girl, be pulled into the earth
now I'm haunted by my breath when I sing
At night I hear her shouts in the running rivers mouth
in the bluebird and the lemonade springs
