ONALASKA lyrics - Damien Jurado

It was if I went looking for a new direction
Indecisive and undecided
I had been in the desert and spent time on a mountain
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard the voices of wisdom and sang with creation
Where my name was a color and my years were a number
I was freedom in motion where the wind never slumbered
Disguising my voice so not to be heard

Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say you ever knew me

I had my doubts so you gave me an option
Take what's in front of you or the highway
It was you I ran into, I'd been dying for days
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard your voice from the next room in a song on a station
Where my name was repeated through the static and numbers
We are the way, we are the ending

Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say that you saw this
Long after I am gone
