Alaska
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well how're the mountains off the harbor?
And how far are you from shore?
And when your ship
Oh when your ship comes into port
Would you call?
Oh would you call?
In that cabin in Montana
Was that donkey getting drunk?
Well it's been hell back
Here in Philadelphia, yeah
And York ain't what it was
Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
You know I dreamt where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
To say no
Well it's night time in Alaska
I hear it's dark until the spring
Well it's been hell back
Here in Philadelphia, yeah
And York ain't what it was
Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand
Well I dreamt where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
Oh no
