lyrics

were you born again
by the river's edge
did you climb the hills
for the heather bells
kneel down to the stream
lookin' for a lift
blueberry stains
on your fingertips

you hear the ptarmigan
in the aster eyes
everlasting pearls
did they make you cry
you hear the whistlin'
from the talus stone
did you heart stand still
in the alpenglow

hungry as a newborn child
destined to go changin' the world
naked in the sunshine
waking in the wild

woodsmoke in your hair
come in cold and wet
oh where have you been
oh mama i forget
ears down to the ground
where there were no words
goin' walkabout
chasin' thunderbirds

on the interstate
of your dyin' dreams
is your reckoning
sweet as gasoline

hungry as a newborn child
destined to go changin' the world
naked in the sunshine
waking in the wild
