It's the first hit of dopamine
Forest fire smoke and kerosene
Jen's in the front seat, the sun's in her lap
We're eulogizing all of our friends
An urban sprawl towards oblivion
Setting the asphalt, the nature's relapse

When she leaves
She keeps the light lit
Maples leaves
And rhododendron

It's a mountain, a glacial stream
18-wheelers and gasoline
Family vacations to our own backyard
We're counting sheep over highway bends
Devastation in summer's end
But we've got the upper hand, against the odds

What I've seen
Is too complex to label
All I need
Is someone who feels able
Evergreen
The horses in the stable
You and me
Straight from the mouth of Gabriel
