It's breathin' time  In Christmas Valley  herons fly by night  and crash into the pines  and when we're gone  from Christmas Valley  no one will remember you  leave nothin' to remind  to remind  climbed up onto Fort Rock  and I looked unto the town  the aquifer works so hard  to consecrate the ground  all the way to Wagontire  just a shimmer in the haze  all the way to Wagontire  no one's beggin' us to stay  It's breathin' time  in Christmas Valley  herons fly by night  and crash into the pines  and when we're gone  from Christmas Valley  no one will remember you  leave nothin' to remind  to remind  If what you want is tarpaper  blown off in the wind  If what you want is tarpaper  then hold here to the end  Sister says in Lewiston  three rivers come to meet  she'll get us jobs in a restaurant  we can stagger home each night  It's breathin' time  in Christmas Valley  herons fly by night  and crash into the pines  and when we're home  from Christmas Valley  no one will remember you  leave nothin' to remind  to remind
