Tarkio Follow

Summer, it came
Like a light across the highlands
And we laid it down

You wore a dress
Made of light from the islands
And we sent postcards home

In dying light
This was not to be forgotten
'Cause we are the chosen few

Into the sea
With the touch of softest cotton
Beneath this angel moon

It's been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind
Was my first mistake

And I'm not so strong
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
And the things it threw away

You wrote your name
As we lay among the heather
What you left behind

Following paths
That would lead us both together

It's been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind
Was my first mistake

And I'm not so strong
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
By the things it threw away

Summer, it fell
And it coursed across the highlands
And so quickly gone

Your faded dress for years
Now tied away and silent
And the night's late lullaby

Has been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind
Was my first mistake

And I'm not so strong
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
By all the things it threw away

By all the things it threw away
By all the things it threw away
By all the things it threw away

Summer, it came
Like a light across the highlands
And we laid it down
