lyrics

I went out driving over the mountains
Twenty-five years if a day
Ashes in cardboard under the dashboard
I never could put on display

Nothing belongs to us
Nothing belongs to us anyway

I came to a hollow of maple and aspen
Ringed by a sun-dappled stream
Jesus was waiting, drinking beer and sun-bathing
The most beautiful thing I have seen

He said "Son you have found me, for all of your wandering
And come to your own resting place"
And I cried like a baby that takes its first needle
As he lifted his hands to my face

I woke in the evening, cardboard beside me,
Traces of ash on my sleeve
And I called to my child through the broken white pines
The yellow and wildfire leaves

"Oh this is my promise to walk through this forest
Gathering rainbows to place on your pillow
Until the end of my days
For the time that I don't own is not mine to not own
There's no one to miss me no ways"

Nothing belongs to us
Nothing belongs to us
Nothing belongs to us
Oh nothing belongs to us anyway
Oh nothing belongs to us anyway
