[Verses]
Travelling through the graveyard
With a suitcase full of sparks
Honey, I m still trying to find my way to you
Lit up every campfire
I Found out in the dark
Oh, I cut down all the cottonwoods
(x2)
Picked up all the arrow heads
Off buffalo trails of the Indians
The Oklahoma sky was cutting through
Along the tracks with the runaway
He just talks and talks and talks
Honey, I m just trying to find my way to you
And I quit counting stars that night
In the cold, by the satellite field
And I quit panning gold, digging holes
Yeah, I m just trying to find my way to you
(x4)
Swam across The Poncha
Took a train to Cataloo
I opened up my guitar case
And all the songs were blue
I haunted all the alleys
Lord I drifted down the valleys
Honey, I m just trying to find my way to you
And I quit casting hooks
Off the California coast we held so dear
And I quit flashing smiles, and running wild
Yeah, I m just trying to find my way to you
(x4)
Threw my bottle to the ocean
She never wrote me back
All the countless days across the sea of blue
Learned the language of the mocking bird
She took and twisted all my words
Honey, I m just trying to find my way to you
And I ll meet you in the graveyard
With the winter trees and stars
Oh, we could open up that suitcase full of sparks
(x4)
