Boulder To Birmingham.
[Incidently, the distance between Boulder and Birmingham USA is 1294.8 miles by road.]
I don’t want to hear a love song.
I got on this airplane just to fly,
And I know there’s life below me,
But all that you could show me,
Was the prairie and the sky.
And I don’t wanna hear a sad story,
Full of heartbreak and desire.
Last time I felt like this,
I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire.
I stood on the mountain,
In the night and I watched it burn,
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham.
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham,
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
Well, you really got me this time,
And the hardest part is knowin’ I’ll survive.
I’ve come to listen for the sounds,
Of the trucks as they move down,
Out of ninety five,
And pretend that it’s the ocean,
Runnin’ down to wash me clean, to wash me clean,
Baby, don’t you know what I mean?
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham.
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham,
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham,
If I thought I could see, I could see your face,
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
END.
