Alaska

As the winds begin to rise And the calm turns to the storm Stay by my side and I'll keep you warm As the tides begin to change And everything's left unarranged We shut the door, but it opens more and more My skin pale as moonlight, dying from frostbite With nowhere left to go On this freezing winter night, I won't make it inside So bury me under the snow (bury me under the snow) So my fingers dance and my body twirls As I start to lose my grip on this world (on this world) On this world When my spirit lifts and my laurels furl I'll melt the seasons down, so watch me swirl (so watch me swirl) As I sink into the whorl One of these days you'll look back and say (look back and say) "I wish I would have walked the other way" (other way) One of these nights you'll run and hide (you'll run and hide) In this cold dark world you've made To cut me down inside Leave me to lie in the snow 'til I die And I'll watch it fall out of view (fall out of view) So you take what is mine When the sun won't shine on you Won't shine on you (won't shine on you) In our alaskan homes we weather the cold forever Trying to ignite a spark with sticks and stones together Never having much luck, we just seem to be stuck in the cold Now the blizzard advances, we never got our chances to grow old (grow) One of these days you'll look back and say (look back and say) "I wish I would have walked the other way" (other way) One of these nights you'll run and hide (you'll run and hide) In this cold dark world you've made To cut me down inside To cut me down inside Cut me down inside Uh-huh, ah-ah-ah-ah-hah Ah-ah (oh-oh) Ah-ah-ah-ah-hah Ah-ah, ah-ah-hah Oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-hah Ah-ah, ah-ah-hah Oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-hah Ah-ah, ah-ah-hah
