El Camino Sierra

Hello Olancha hello Lone Pine
Fossil Falls a must stop every time
Wish you were next to me in this car
Wishin’ that you could have come this far

El Camino Sierra I drive
Fourteen thousand footers on each side
And way up high the snow’s still holding on
Another month or so it will be gone

Like the sun when it comes
Melts away the snow
Time will heal the ache I feel
At least I’m hoping so

The Alabama Hills below Whitney
That water’s headed to the big city
The Ancient Bristlecones windblown and worn
Already old the day Jesus was born

Like the sun when it comes
Melts away the snow
Time will heal the ache I feel
At least I’m a hoping so

I wonder if he’s near me?
I wonder if she hears me as I speak?
Like I would to a good friend
I know it’s connection that I seek

With every step I move higher
Sierra stream you’re like a choir
The water’s cold the sky so clear
If there’s a heaven I think it’s near

And I am closer to the sun
Trees are thinning but I found the one
We sat here in its shade
Some memories never fade

Like the sun when it comes
Melts away the snow
Time will heal the ache I feel
At least I’m a hoping so

Like the sun when it comes
Melts away the snow
Time will heal the ache I feel
At least I’m hoping
