lyrics

You were the wanderer
The world was so small to you
And that was the scariest thing
So I let you go though I asked you to stay
Until I finally stopped thinking of just me
And the pictures you sent
With their edges all bent
And that post card I couldn’t stop reading
You said you were living a life that you love
And in living the life that you love
Maybe you’d find the love of your life

So I packed my things
My bags burst at the seems
From all the pictures and that postcard too
I headed down to Utah
The desert and the ravens called
Until that land parched my memories of you

I took my own pictures then
And made my world smaller
Making love to a wanderer
or two

Who said you’re living the life that you love
And in living the life that you love
Maybe you’ll find the love of your life

But everywhere that I went
I could still pick up your scent
On that postcard I couldn’t stop reading

So I sent you letters
Always general delivery
Hearts in search of a home
The last one I got from you
A postcard from a place I knew
Sego Lilies and the desert in bloom
It was an invitation
The postmark said Springdale
And oh man I couldn’t stop reading

If you’re living the life that you love
Then maybe you’ll find the love of your life
