Indigo Girls - Alberta lyrics

It seems like a long time, But it's been no time In the course of a lifetime Since you're gone The crack in the window Is that how you got through? Dogs howl, is that you? The setting sun You took a wild rose, from Alberta Brought it East to press upon this yellow page One lost day Once by a coal mine A terrible landslide Crushed the hopes of the incline Engraved their bones As hard as I try I just can't let it lie The feeling you haven't quite made it home You took a wild rose, from Alberta Brought it East to press upon this yellow page One lost day Can't call it sorry Can't call it sad Maybe just the same as how a song can take it back More like that Heirlooms and stories Pieces of j**elry Snapshots of a revelry, A lullaby The journey out West Full of secrets, I guess Never since been addressed The hurricane eye You took a wild rose, from Alberta Brought it east to press upon this yellow page One lost day
