ONALASKA - Damien Jurado

It was if I went looking for a new direction

Indecisive, undecided

I had been in the desert, spent time on a mountain

Off of my feet, floating in suspension

Heard the voices of wisdom and sang with creation

Where my name was a color and the years were my 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’m 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, 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 saw this

Long after I’m gone

Don’t say you ever saw this

Long after I’m gone
