Brad Wood - Ketchum lyrics

Today I got my call from Ketchum Idaho From Hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snow But if you've never been in pain before then I guess you wouldn't know I'm leaving in a while now for Ketchum's icy sting To walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drink And if I stay there long enough then I'll never feel a thing And Ketchum will be good to you if are strong and brave She caters to the melancholy every single day And babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his pain I'll lock myself in Ketchum's stare I'll make her my whole world I'm gonna roam the Ketchum streets to find a Ketchum girl And then I'll let her break my heart 'cos that's all that I do well The valley will become my home her hills will keep me safe I'll give her songs about my soul when there's no soul left to take And I'll forget I ever lived in any other place And it may seem inevitable I would love this fate So beautiful and tragic and her heroes can't escape And Hemingway he shot himself one July evening late But me I couldn't bring myself to bloody Ketchum's name Underneath her pa**ion boils, never spoils surface tame I'll slowly let her k** me with her lonely wind and rain Her lonely tears and pain
