A Sorta Fairytale

on my way up north

up on the ventura

i pulled back the hood

and i was talking to you

and i knew then it would be

a life long thing

but i didn't know that we

we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad

like a good book

i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale

with you

a sorta fairytale

with you

things you said that day

up on the 101

the girl had come undone

i tried to downplay it

with a bet about us

you said that-

you'd take it

as long as i could

i could not erase it

and i'm so sad

like a good book

i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale

with you

a sorta fairytale

with you

and i ride along side

and i rode along side

you then

and i rode along side

till you lost me there

in the open road

and i rode along side

till the honey spread

itself so thin

for me to break your bread

for me to take your word

i had to steal it

and i'm so sad

like a good book

i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale

with you

a sorta fairytale

with you

i could pick back up

whenever i feel

down new mexico way

something about

the open road

i knew that he was

looking for some indian blood and

find a little in you find a little

in me we may be

on this road but

we're just

impostors

in this country you know

so we go along and we said

we'd fake it

feel better with

oliver stone

till i

almost smacked him -

seemed right that night and

i don't know what

takes hold

out there in the

desert cold

these guys think they must

try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad

like a good book

i can't put this

day back

a sorta fairytale

with you

a sorta fairytale

with you

and i was ridin' by

ridin' along side

for a while till you lost me

and i was ridin' by

ridin' along till you lost me

till you lost

me in

the rear

view

you lost me

i said

way up north i took my day

all in all was a pretty nice

day and i put the hood

right back where

you could taste heaven

perfectly

feel out the summer breeze

didn't know when we'd be back

and i, i don't

didn't think

we'd end up like

like this
