Mark Erelli - Pauline lyrics

Found me a river So I followed it down Til I felt the spray on my face Where the waves kneel down Like pilgrims lost in prayers of devotion Came the vast and roiling green Pauline Built me a campfire On the high desert plain Fed manzanita and juniper To a hungry flame And the smoke of supplication Rose to meet the constellations so pristine Pauline In a world so scientific You are a mystery no man can ever learn There are frontiers within your heart Still uncharted Northwest Pa**ages Points of no return Climbed me a mountain Through the deep and drifting snows I was an avalanche And babe you were my angle of repose Now that I've stopped tumbling I've stopped wondering if this is but a dream Pauline
