Pauline

Found me a river
 So I followed it down
 Til I felt the spray on my face
 Where the waves kneel down
 Like pilgrims lost in prayers of devotion
 Came the vast and roiling green
 Pauline
 Built me a campfire
 On the high desert plain
 Fed manzanita and juniper
 To a hungry flame
 And the smoke of supplication
 Rose to meet the constellations so pristine
 Pauline
 In a world so scientific
 You are a mystery no man can ever learn
 There are frontiers within your heart
 Still uncharted
 Northwest Passages
 Points of no return
 Climbed me a mountain
 Through the deep and drifting snows
 I was an avalanche
 And babe you were my angle of repose
 Now that I've stopped tumbling
 I've stopped wondering if this is but a dream
