lyrics

wildfires outside laramie, wy

I bought a box chockablock of tangerines
and I keep it on the floor behind the passenger seat
find me at the wildfire way too late
with a watering can and a roll of ticker tape
find me in your college shirt tapping my feet
find me on the road when you need something sweet

sighing when the sound gets low
sending songs up to god I don't
singing to the burning leaves sing until the fireweed grows

on wyoming roads
passing piles of coal
when our only hope
is to let it be
i'm for you
you're for me

in the last days of August the birds flew slow
in the rippling skies in the herbicide smoke
and the county helicopters dropped quarter mile rope
it was moving too fast it was too hard to hold
find me outside of laramie
shouting at the freeway and chopping down trees

sighing when the sound gets low...

on wyoming roads...

rained 3 days it was all white noise
state officials over credited and overjoyed
you said the rain never fell back in laramie
and it's burning still and they're chopping down trees
next summer I'll be back with something more sweet
next summer I'll be back with whatever you need

sighing when the sound gets low...

on wyoming roads...
