Riding High

from Chromatisms by The Soft Hills

lyrics

Once we got lost
in the oak covered hills
we thought the same thoughts
and the voices were real
friend I tried to warn you
to open your eyes to the shadows at your heels

something ain't right
who you talking to?
You gave up the fight
and you drink like a fool
who am I to blame you
if the flowing win delivers you from your cell

and they can't understand you're not to blame
for riding high upon the wake of nature's golden prize
the only crime is when you break from the budding tree of life
and the patterns we wove untie

boy where you been?
you're out running with wolves
your bright world caved in
and you laugh like a loon
he wandered out of the garden
the earth burned brown as the cruel sun parched his way
