Jenny Lake

Imagine that we're swimming in an endless shallow sea West Texas, finding fossils underneath a pinyon tree Every dusty town we pass a monument to oil Wind turbines just spinning in the soil I walked down to Jenny Lake, took off my socks and shoes The water has a way of breaking through my blues Everybody and their cousin's moving to the hills Henry David's manifest fulfilled Hold me, like the mountains Hold snow through late July, won't you Pull me like the tide Remember when I drove us on the continent's divide All the while you had your hand pressed on my thigh Cowboys hats in 80 miles, on a billboard sign Guess that we'll be driving for a while Hold me, like the mountains Hold snow through late July, won't you Pull me like the tide If Old Faithful's just a fountain Halfway up the sky How much of love is just consistency and time Mountains grow and canyons get carved deeper every year Do you think we'll notice by the last time we come here Won't you Hold me, like the mountains Hold snow through late July, won't you Pull me like the tide
