Wish I knew where the alders grow Where Johnston died at the outpost Is that where you go? Wherever it is you go it looks like the moon The old growth soon is gonna get new legs Walk over here and eat me alive I said it before and I'll say it again The purest things will move without touching them In the alder grove a tree cuts the wind And if the bough shall break may it grow back again Oh my god Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it now This is the big one In the alder groves of the old blast zone A feeling comes like it's gonna get me, too Flows over me I said it before and I'll say it again The purest things will move without touching them In the alder grove a tree cuts the wind And if the bough shall break may it grow back again Where do you go? I'll say it again as I've said it before Once you grow old you don't want much anymore If the burning cloud just misses the house Sell the broken boughs and remain Remain, remain, remain, remain, remain
