Lyrics
Well I feel just like a woman
Caught talking to a tree
Staring at his face like it's a thousand tiny leaves
'Cause we have few words in common
I just do the best I can
To talk to him, he's far from home
And I guess I am
Well you know it could be snowing
It could be twenty below
There could be icicles on eyelashes
And hands too cold to close
Around a day like this
But instead here's a breeze
And my window's drawn down
And we're pushing up our sleeves
So we drive along these prairies
I hold the wheel with just one hand
And the loose fringe on my scarf
Is flapping in the wind
Maybe I should have stayed at home
'Cause then I wouldn't know
About the very things I wanted
The very place I need to go
And he sings me this song
While the road leads us on
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
He's the Buddha in my front seat
And we drive along this way
And he unwraps a chocolate bar
Like I'd touch a lover's face
But there's no lust in his hands
At least it seems that way to me
He says he wants to buy me dinner
When we get to Calgary
And the road leads us on
And we sing out this song
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
Well he stares out at the mountains
I see something in his eyes
He seems happy just to see them
Content to roll on by
But me, I am the clutching kind
I'm from a wanting breed
I am full of expectation
I want everything I see
I would smooth this landscape down
But the road leads us on
He's a message in a bottle
I've been floating out at sea
Oh tell me 'bout your freedom
'Bout this heaven that you see
'Cause you know sometimes I remember
That forever's just a trick
That I spend too much time worrying
And the future's like a fish
When the sun glints in my eyes
I can't see its shape or size
If I catch it will I kill it?
Can I throw it back in time?
Well the road leads us on
And we sing out this song
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
Let's move forward, ever forward
In the heaven of it all
In the heaven of it all
