In The Yukon Wild
“You know your spent in the Yukon Wild
When you can’t even fake a smile
We’d been digging for days
And how you long for the praise
That would make you go on for a while”
–
Out here what remains tells a story
Like some crazy fairy tale
And with the old miners rhyme
In the back of my mind
We plodded along the trail
–
Riding along the land speaks of past souls
Lonely like a lone wolf call
Some of toil and pain
And fortune..fewer fame
And some lost in the beauty of it all
–
But here we are on a horseback adventure!
In a continual state of awe
And that peace and still
Can consume you… it will
And you may never leave the Yukon at all
–
So to our friends over in Europe
Come over and see this amazing place
Don’t stop and ponder
Just jump on that condor
We know you’ll enjoy the space
–
Cause there’s just something here that pulls you
It you draws you into its game
And like the midnight sun
Or watching the salmon run
You’ll never leave the Yukon the same.
