Alaska
Her hair is straight and longLike the fishing docks below Her face is pale and soft Like the gently falling snow Her legs run like the wind Whipping through the mountains Her eyes shed tears of gold Like the precious running fountainAnd someday if I take a notion I'll slip away across the frozen oceanHer heart beats deep and slow As the hibernating brown She sparkles as she moves Like some ancient angel's gown And I will be with her From the Tongass to the Tundra And we'll watch the breezes blow From Glennallen to CordovaAnd someday if I take a notion I'll slip away across the frozen oceanAnd in the summer months we'll walk 'Neath the sun at midnight Letras de cancionesAnd as the evening grows We'll bank the stove by moonlight And when the morning comes I'll drink of your sweet sorrow I'll lay there in your arms With not a care about tomorrowAnd someday if I take a notion I'll slip away across the frozen ocean
