The city can be a lonely place. Mother Nature, on the other hand, can be terrifying. This is Anxiety Rock with accordion.
lyrics
The Western Door
Can you turn down the forest sounds
I’ve been in love too many times
The birds and the squirrels
Chasing each other around
The wind in the maple trees
The river
Walk through the western door with me
I made my bed on a needle pile
And hung my food up twenty feet
The water that cuts through the broken shale
Ain’t doing anybody no good
The river
Walk through the western door with me
There are no stars
And there’s no light from the moon
I’m totally sealed
In my high-tech cocoon
The wind is everywhere
It’s moving from tree to tree
It seems to be searching for me?
Is anyone searching?
Is anyone searching?
So I strike my tent and bury the fire
And try to leave the smallest trace
I mark my spot with a pile of rocks
I walk with a broken stick
The river
Walk through the western door with me
