Clap For Alaska

Walked down in the snow
The cold air blowed
I think about her son
And man, I'm dumb
Oh, she had her days
And dubious ways
But I should have stayed
Oh, I should have stayed
Oh, I should have stayed

And now I'm a heartache, and I've had my say
And there is no point to this whole thing, by the way
But I'm trying harder to foresee that day
When I can pack my bags and make it down your way

But I know
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me

The snakes and the charmers were harder that day
So I looked right past and I went the other way
The lurchers and harmers were not nice, they say
I had to tell them twice that I'll find out my own way

And now I know
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(A hey hey ho)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(Walked down in the snow)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(The cold air blows)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(I think about her son)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(And man, I'm dumb)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(And she had her days)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(And dubious ways)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(But I should have stayed)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(Oh, I should have stayed)
If I come back down, they're gonna get me
(Oh, I should have stayed)
