Alaska Calling from Nineteen Forever by Blue Everlasting

When I was young I thought that I'd be great before I die
I'm not young anymore
My teenage lungs cried out for staring down a noble eye
But I'm not cut out for war

I'm looking for the wind between the pines, the dark embrace
Of fading by the lake
I don't need grime or glory, just a peaceful, quiet place
To make my last mistake

I want to count myself among the noble fallen
To tell myself it's destiny, it's only time to go
I want to hear the skies of old Alaska calling
Saying this one ain't your fault, boy, go on, lie down in the snow

I don't have any hope of leaving something real behind
Save pickings for the birds
I pray the quiet footprints of the caribou don't mind
If I die between their herds

I want to count myself among the noble fallen
To tell myself it's destiny, it's only time to go
I want to hear the skies of old Alaska calling
Saying this one ain't your fault, boy, go on, lie down in the snow
