Jenny Lake

Imagine that we're swimming in an endless shallow sea
West Texas, finding fossils underneath a pinyon tree
Every dusty town we pass a monument to oil
Wind turbines just spinning in the soil

I walked down to Jenny Lake, took off my socks and shoes
The water has a way of breaking through my blues
Everybody and their cousin's moving to the hills
Henry David's manifest fulfilled

Hold me, like the mountains
Hold snow through late July, won't you
Pull me like the tide

Remember when I drove us on the continent's divide
All the while you had your hand pressed on my thigh
Cowboys hats in 80 miles, on a billboard sign
Guess that we'll be driving for a while

Hold me, like the mountains
Hold snow through late July, won't you
Pull me like the tide

If Old Faithful's just a fountain
Halfway up the sky
How much of love is just consistency and time
Mountains grow and canyons get carved deeper every year
Do you think we'll notice by the last time we come here

Won't you
Hold me, like the mountains
Hold snow through late July, won't you
Pull me like the tide
