Lyrics
Verse 1
Roving trail carved by you
Winter is gone and the flowers start to bloom
Well I’ve go a Jon on a bar from 9 til 2
Bridge
And I’ll hold onto what I got, and forget about what I’ve lost
And I’ve chosen you… well I hope you’ll choose me too
Verse 2
But there’s things I’d like to say, and I’m not sure if it’ll go my way.
These Norfolk pines align to you, north and south, it’s me and you.
Verse 3
I hope you hear things that startle you, when the pipes play out and fiddles play too
Well hold your tongue my darling dear, the ship has sailed you shall not fear.
And the salty sea, if it ain’t for you it ain’t for me.
