Onalaska Songtext

von Damien Jurado

It was if, i went looking for a new direction
Indecisive / undecided
I had been in the desert, spent time on a mountain
Off of my feet, floating in suspension
Heard the voices of wisdom and sang with creation
Where my name was a color and
The years were my number
I was freedom in motion where
Wind never slumbered
Disguising my voice so not to be heard

Don't say you ever knew me
Long after i am gone

I had my doubts so you gave me an option
Take whats in front of you or the highway
It was you I ran into, I'd been dying for days
Off of your feet and floating in suspension
Heard your voice from the next room
In a song on a station
Where my name was repeated
Through the static and numbers
We are the way we are the ending

Don't say you ever saw this
Long after i am gone
