Tarkio

Lyrics to Devil's Elbow



Stranded at the light houseI think I saw my sister there

Oregon in light house

We are conjuring the surf and waves

A path to reach the alcove

And me barefoot far behind

Passing by the white house

An old man was mowing his lawn

And when I woke were still present in my mind

It was some dream

Some dream



Matthew lead the consort

We all stoned in disbelief

Clambered up the hillside

And I am cursing my naked feet

There above the ridge-line

Amidst the plants so overgrown

A cavern mouth and trailway

We all crouched the capered through

And at the end there was a hole through which we looked

To such heights

To such heights

It was some dream
