Columbia River

Everybody tries to make me dance
 But I just want to sit still
 And stare right at you with my strongest gaze
 It's an innocent youthful thrill
 And hold your hand on my front porch swing
 When the summer night sends a chill
 And dream of driving way up north
 Though I know we'll never get our fill
 ♪
 And everybody tries to fall in love
 But I just keep making friends
 When I sort through those stars at night
 I'm looking for some kind of sign of the end
 If the sun won't rise when the morning comes
 I'll be ready 'cause I don't depend
 On those things like philosophy
 And the sunrise, moon tides, pursuit of happiness
 I find that I wish I was home
 I find that I wish I was home
 Singing songs that you already know
 Instead of always singing my own
 And arranging the tones
 In this city that reminds me I'm alone
 I find that I wish I was yours
 I find that I wish I was yours
 And belonged to all the birds nesting on the porch
 And all those trees along the river gorge
 And every windswept metaphor
 All of yours until I am nothing more
