Lyrics
Description
Sitting by the river where the ice shelf meets the light,
Cedar smoke and tailgate songs cut the hush of night,
Your jacket tossed on a log, your breath a cloud I know,
Friends talking loud by the fire, pickup headlights low.
A northern star hung steady, overdue with harbor's glow,
Snow on the bank, my old dreadnought humming slow,
You laughed the way it used to mean the whole wide day,
Now it fills the dark and chases frost away.
Frost on the cooler, embers kick and climb,
Highway 61 whispers like a line in time.
Bonfire embers write our names across the sky,
We won't let them die.
Tailgate stomps, cedar smoke, and a southern tangent twang,
You and I keeping warm through the longest hang.
Radio low, southern twang, rated with a hard rock beat,
Cups clink and someone jokes about our stubborn heat,
The river keeps on talking, tells the truth without a lie,
Like how you fit my elbow, how your fingers find mine.
A life that used to ache now sparks a brand new plan,
Snow crunch under boots, our footprints hand in hand,
Duluth lights shrink back but we burn a fiercer line,
Cold can't hollow what we stoke and call our kind.
Cedar smoke curls, tailgate creaks and sways,
Stars map the mapless road that led us here today.
Bonfire embers write our names across the sky,
We won't let them die.
Tailgate stomps, cedar smoke, and a southern tangent twang,
You and I keeping warm through the longest hang.
You toss me that old flannel, your glove slips off and lands
On the frozen rock where the river sculpts our hands.
Your laugh slides softer like a song I used to chase,
I play three chords, you hum along and the dark gives up its space,
A pickup horn in the distance reminds me where we came from.
But here the harbor holds us steady and the cold grows numb.
Remember the time the wind tried to steal your hat away?
I ran the shore and caught the sky, you smiled and let me stay.
Friends clap their hands, a chorus swells like summer's vow,
Minnesota's bite is honest but the fire teaches how.
We trade small honest things, a grenade there, a borrowed glove,
The night folds us together, whispers highways we can love.
Bonfire embers write our names across the sky,
We won't let them die, cedar smoke and gasoline,
Sweetness on a midnight breeze,
You and I hand in hand with every star to please.
So let the river carry away the rest we leave behind,
These embers hold the stories and the tracks of every mind.
Tonight the cold is witnessed, but it never gets to own the night.
We set it all alight together and the horizon keeps our light.
