Alberta - Indigo Girls

It seems like a long time

But it’s been no time

In the course of a lifetime

Since you’ve gone

The crack in the window

Is that how you got through?

Dogs howl, is that you?

The setting sun

You took a wild rose, from Alberta

Brought it east to press upon this yellow page

One lost day

Once by a coal mine

A terrible landslide

Crushed the hopes of the incline

Engraved their bones

As hard as I try

I just can’t let it lie

I get the feeling you haven’t quite made it home

You took a wild rose, from Alberta

Brought it east to press upon this yellow page

One lost day

Can’t call it sorry

Can’t call it sad

Maybe just the same as how a song can take it back

More like that

Heirlooms and stories

Pieces of jewelry

Snapshots of a revelry

A lullaby

The journey out west

Full of secrets, I guess

Never since been addressed

The hurricane eye

You took a wild rose, from Alberta

Brought it east to press upon this yellow page

One lost day
