about

written at the old Laundry Rules house, Portland, Oregon

lyrics

I dreamed
That Idaho
Was on the coast
But I couldn't find the state
To take its place

We stayed up all night
Listening
To your grandpa's 78s
Til the lights
Begin to glow
And shadow
All the lines in your face

Cast off
Your belongs
Let the rain fall
On the awnings

And age each day
A hundred years
Til you've grown
As old as the sea
At night
A sleepy thousand years

Old as the rocks and the trees
Old as the rocks and the trees

I've never
Been so far
As Idaho
But I hope
To make it there
One stormy day

And hear
A cowboy song
To keep me
In this empty
State of grace
The lights
Will start to glow
And shadow
All the lines
In my face

Cast off
Your belongings
Let the rain fall
On the awnings

And age each day
A hundred years
Til you've grown
As old as me
At night
A sleepy thousand years

Alone as a poor soul could be
Alone as a poor sould could be
