Cabins

[Verse] There's a log cabin up Redfeather.| Past the lakes, and the peaks, and the pines.| It's the perfect place to go next Summer.| Fact I'm already savin' the time.| I'll start tyin' my flies when the spring comes.| From feathers that fell on my path.| They'll pierce my hat like emblems of old, while I soldier on.| And som'll get caught in the trees.| [Bridge] It took a long time for this not to feel like loss.| And shorter to know I's the cause.| Now I'm doing alright, even if I'm a little sad.| Cause I'm never alone when I walk.| [Verse] There's a line of cabins in Estes.| I used to stain every couple of years.| In a field of green and goldenrod.| His brushstrokes just couldn't be more clear.| I know those mountain roads and switchbacks.| Where the snowcapped waters run still.| Like mirrors that snake through the valley.| Where you can see yourself stay for a spell.| [Bridge] It took a long time for this not to feel like loss.| And shorter to know I's the cause.| Now I'm doing alright, even if I'm a little sad.| Cause I'm never alone when I walk.| [Verse] There's a lake I won't say how to get to.| That I found off the path when I was young.| It's so full of life and unspoiled.| And it's the only place that's really only mine.| You could walk straight across, and never wet your chest.| But it's the deepest place that I've ever seen.| I'm sure I'll share it someday, with someone else.| But until then I just can't let it go.| [Bridge] It took a long time for this not to feel like loss.| And shorter to know I's the cause.| Now I'm doing alright, even if I'm a little sad.| Cause I'm never alone when I walk.|
