[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, violin melody] [Verse 1] [male vocals] Haralyn Onward we ride [violin enters with rhythmic accents] [Verse 2] [male vocals] We roll out under cedar rain Two helmets shining in the dawn Coffee steam and sleepy streets Then the city lights are gone Lavender mist on my jacket sleeve Emerald sparks in your hair Every mile of wet black road feels like a spell we share [Verse 3] [female vocals] You hold the map against my back I laugh when the north wind bites We chase the coast past harbor towns and silver fairy lights The sound lies white, the gulls cry low The pine hills breathe and bend I never knew a road could feel like coming home again [Pre-Chorus] [male and female vocals in harmony] Cedar breath, now morning bright Two hearts riding into light Hand to throttle, rain to skin Let the wild road pull us in [Chorus] [full band, driving drums] Go Nearian Botherlin May the road rise up with us Through cedar rain and mountain winds Through the dawn and silver dust Osh-leave go far-age from the mountain to the sea Where the green roads twist and sing You ride close to me, Ar-a-Gaelin Mosto, onward love Once more lavender snow and emerald flame On the open shore [Verse 4] [male vocals] Le-shay-rad and Bother together on the road Foyn-by-stach, foyn-ga-rian through the rain and sunlit gold Ar-a-Gaelin, Ar-a-Gaelin Onward as the west wind sings [Verse 5] [female vocals] We stop where the river widens Buy cherries from a roadside stand You tuck one behind my ear with wet gloves in your hand Motel signs and forest trails Boots drying by the door You hum old songs while tea gets warm and I love the world once more [Verse 6] [male vocals] Past Coma-rain and Olympia Queen past bridges strung in gray Up where the fir trees crowd the path and the clouds step out the way And down to salt and driftwood fire Where the cold sea shakes the stones Your tail curls closer round my waist and the road no longer owns us [Pre-Chorus] [male and female vocals in harmony] I-solas bog-na med-in in the soft light of morning We find the road still calling, we find our hearts still forming Mil-im-kayl-tea-a-gra, we are not lost my love Just riding where the sky turns white with moon and stars above [Chorus] [full band] Go Nearian Botherlin May the road rise up with us Through cedar rain and mountain winds Through the dawn and silver dust Osh-leave go far-age from the mountain to the sea Where the green roads twist and sing You ride close to me, Ar-a-Gaelin Mosto, onward love Once more lavender snow and emerald flame On the open shore [Bridge] [violin solo, electric guitar lead fills] [Verse 7] [male vocals] Some adventures wear no armor Some are raincoats, maps, and keys Some are ferry decks at twilight with salt wind off the sea Some are breakfast in a diner Fog pressed soft against the glass Some are laughing through the helmet when the storm begins to pass [Outro] [female vocals] It-a-crane-a-sea-o between the trees and mist Your green fire keeps me warm, my lavender light is kissed More-cree-ad-and-bother, my heart upon the road Two wild souls in one bright motion carry me home as we go [Chorus repeats and fades] Go Nearian Botherlin May the road rise up with us Through cedar rain and mountain winds Through the dawn and silver dust Osh-leave go far-age from the mountain to the sea Where the green roads twist and sing You ride close to me, Ar-a-Gaelin Mosto, onward love Once more lavender snow and emerald flame On the open shore [acoustic guitar and violin fade out]
