A.O. Gerber - Summers / Wait lyrics

Emigrant Lake in summer:
We all trek to the cove
That I didn’t know exists
And when Jon drives me home he’ll take
A turn up Dead Indian Road
Just to watch our home sparkle
Shimmering pebbles

That Fourth of July when we
Tried to escape it
And you showed me the creek where
You shared all your cigarettes
I can’t walk by without seeing
Our bare feet caressing stones
I hear the breath of the
Dogwood teaching us silence

Oh, evergreen mountains
Oh, terrible stillness wait for me
Oh, Table Rock flowers oh, gloaming upon you
Wait for me

The stone that rose out at Cape Kiwanda
As tall as the dune that we
Scaled just to see the shore
I took a picture to remind me
Of the things we’ll all forget
When the moment exhales us:
Breath on the water

Remember smoke in August?
And how we escaped to Crescent
City just to breath?
And in a seal suit I stood upon
A wave for the first time
Before we saw that bar fight

Oh, evergreen mountains
Oh, terrible stillness wait for me
Oh, Table Rock flowers oh, gloaming upon you
Wait for me

Oh, evergreen mountains
Oh, terrible stillness wait for me
Oh, Table Rock flowers oh, gloaming upon you
Wait for me
