lyrics
When I'm here
When I'm here
It is the leaving I fear
These memories talking
In my life
No other place
Makes me feel the way I feel when I'm here
These memories talking
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To them so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
Oh I'll wait
All winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again
So far displaced
My steps retraced
These drastic changes got me feeling so down
But I'll come around
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To you so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
I'll wait all winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again
When I'm here
It is the leaving I fear
These memories talking
In my life
No other place
Makes me feel the way I feel when I'm here
These memories talking
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To them so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
Oh I'll wait
All winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again
So far displaced
My steps retraced
These drastic changes got me feeling so down
But I'll come around
And I'll never forget
The love that I've found
Beneath every rock
Up every tree
In every lake, every stream
The friends that don't go
Away from my mind
The mysteries left
And everything still to find
To find
It's so hard to convey
To you so far away
And if I could I would stay
Until they drag me away
I'll wait all winter
All summer
And all spring and all fall
I wanna do it again

With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
