lyrics

Some time not so long ago
I had this dream that I used to know
A great white pine towers over me
Its rings have turned to gold

I wish we didn't have to grow so old, so old
I wish we didn't have to grow so old, so old

Tell me babe it's time to go
Back to the only place I know
Back to the only place I rest
Back to the soul of the wilderness

I crawl across this lake of mine
I know its depths as it pushes mine
A hundred years on the waters edge
Rooting at the stain of the waterline

Feel your way through the darkness to the fire's sign
Feel your way through the darkness to the fire's sign

Tell me babe it's time to go
Back to the only place I know
Back to the only place I rest
Back to the soul of the wilderness

I don't know, I don't know for sure
I don't know, I don't know for sure

Tell me babe it's time to go
Back to the only place I know
Back to the only place I rest
Back to the soul of the wilderness
