lyrics

Birch boughs, bare over my head now
Bare in the breeze now
Keep my body still, still in the trees
Sap winter-worn, suspended in me

Moonlight, electric in my eyes
Come calm through my window
Cradled in these walls, no comforted me
Road and the rails, are what I need

Dreamin' of the Teklanika
Dark water tearin’ my flesh
Feel my body in waves, feel my body in waves
Bent knees and beggin for my breath

Dreamin' of the Teklanika
Like silver thick in my veins
Peel my body apart, peel my body apart
And you may have what remains

Dreamin' of the teklanika
Cracked teeth the river runs through
Throw my body away, throw my body away
And I will come back to you

Silence, stretched thin through the distance
Call out to you nightly
Hoping to hold what I may not see
Freed in the world, with no relation to me

Broke down, so I make my way downtown
Make my way from these crossroads
Tickets in my hand some comfort to me
Time's gonna heal, you know, unavoidably

Dreamin' of the Teklanika
Dark water tearin’ my flesh
Feel my body in waves, feel my body in waves
Bent knees and beggin for my breath

Dreamin' of the Teklanika
Like silver thick in my veins
Peel my body apart, peel my body apart
And you may have what remains

Dreamin' of the teklanika
Cracked teeth the river runs through
Throw my body away, throw my body away
And I will come back to you

Lately, I’ve been havin' these dreams
She says, "Meet me in Alaska."

Lately, I've felt the edge of the spring
And it sings to me, "Alaska."

Lately, I've been wantin' to breath
The cool air of Alaska

This road might be shorter than I think
