lyrics

We followed the trail through the fields of clover
With the sun ahead as our guide
Followed it down to the shore of Superior
And looked out where she touched the sky, where she touched the sky

I pulled out the Nikon, and snapped up a photo
Of you standing with me
The lake was on fire, the sun fast and sinking
I trapped it inside of that screen

Wherever you’re going, take me with you
Whatever you’re knowing, I wanna know too, I wanna know too

You picked out a stone and cast it out somewhere
It would stay for a million more days
The last skin it felt were the tips of your fingers
On the day trip we took to the lake

Wherever you’re going, take me with you
Whatever you’re knowing, I wanna know too, I wanna know too

Something so big makes you feel like a stranger
You said as we turned to leave
We followed the trail back through the fields of clover
With just the picture we took for keeps

Wherever you’re going, take me with you
Whatever you’re knowing, I wanna know too, I wanna know too
Wherever you’re going, take me with you
Whatever you’re knowing, I wanna know too, I wanna know too
