Jillian Holzbauer - Wagons To The West lyrics

August is opening her arms to me July is ending in a couple of days My eyes are pouring over the months and the years But your eyes never quite seem to do the same Am I lost in the crowd of your followers The long line of lovers you never loved Am I the personification The paper explanation of what you want But do not want Oh, I swore I would not do this Now, I was a little girl; pigtails, dirty fingernails I was all knotted shoestrings and swing sets Then you blew into my view, rough edges but soft words And I was young, but I knew love when I found it And I swore I would not do this Oh I swore I would not go through with this But I have loved you too long So won't you explore the continent of my skin Won't you come and learn the language of my lips I wish you would pack up your wagons, head to the west But the sea is so much sweeter I guess It's much sweeter I guess It's much sweeter I guess, I guess, I guess And I swore I would not do this Oh I swore I would not do this Oh I swore I would not do this But I have loved you too long
