ONALASKA by Damien Jurado Lyrics

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
