russian river

lyric by skylark

music by skylark + dale ockerman

 

dawn’s early light

in the cool of the morning

he’s gonna take a flight

waking up on russian river

 

and touching the sky

he ain’t got no worry

he’s going out to breathe life

spread his wings and fly over russian river

 

feeling the chill

of a snow-covered mountain

it’s dirty smoke in these hills

looking down on russian river

 

but he’s so high

he’s even safe from the redwoods

just high enough to touch the sun

make me wanna cry

 

how my spirit longs to fly

feeling freedom till i die

lead me where the waters flow

teach me everything you know

and take me with you when you go

he’s so heavy

and light as a feather

even when nothing is said

living free on russian river

 

now he’s surfing the wind

and catching every thermal

i can’t imagine where he’s been

‘cause i’m looking up from russian river
