Another contemplative song where Leif meditates on how one can feel totally alone in the wide expansiveness of the “Land of the Living Skies” or in “Big Sky Country.” Personal loss and love in the face of enormous swathes of nature is a striking image.
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Light enough to be there, heavy enough to bend
Red-winged blackbird sitting on a cattail's end
Meet me where the Land of the Living Skies meets Big Sky Country
Meet me where the Land of the Living Skies meets Big Sky Country
I wish my tears were in your eyes and your eyes were on me
Meet me where the Land of the Living Skies meets Big Sky Country
Last time I saw you, you disappeared down the street before the bend
Last time I saw you, you disappeared down the street before the bend
I said, hey, hey, my Eliza, I squint to blur my eyes until when
The street looked like a cattail with you at its end
