God damn these roots and how they plunge   Into this hard packed northern ground   Beneath the frost line lies my love   Where it is firmly held in place for now   We've had miles of mountains   Surrounding us all the way   And now those same old mountains   Do nothing but separate      Can I plant myself here   Right beside you   I can't take my place   Amongst these trees   I'm sick of waiting for the wind to blow you back to me      God damn that breeze that caught your wings   The one that pulled you toward the sea   The bird that left here no longer sings   Well at least no not for me   I couldn't stay grounded so I uprooted and walked away   Through the miles of mountains   I pushed through to you just to say
