Wilderness

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

You never played by the rules, love

No ceiling high as the morning sky

Skipped town on your eighteenth

All roads lead home, so you chose to fly

Met you in a dive bar

Whiskey and coke, I got your number

Your laugh is a lifeline

My punchlines don't land, but you might

Deep blue, dive in

Lost in your direction

Phone off, no plans

Just you and your shy perfection

All your doubts, let them

Fade out to the distance

Stand still, move me

I want your wilderness

Sour beer on your lips

You pull me in your gravity

Honey, I wouldn't miss this

My storm breaks for your clarity

Deep blue, dive in

Lost in your direction

Phone off, no plans

Just you and your shy perfection

Rows and rows of white houses

Fade out to the distance

Stand still, move me

I want your wilderness

The wind through your hair

Take me anywhere

I've never known which road to choose

But I choose you

Deep blue, dive in

Lost in your direction

Phone off, no plans

Just you and your shy perfection

All your doubts, let them

Fade out to the distance

Stand still, move me

I want your wilderness

Deep blue, dive in

Lost in your direction

Phone off, no plans

Just you and your shy perfection

All your doubts, let them

Fade out to the distance

Stand still, move me

I want your wilderness
