on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn´t know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i´m so sad
like a good book
i can´t put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you´d take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i´m so sad
like a good book
i can´t put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i´m so sad
like a good book
i can´t put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we´re just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we´d fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don´t know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i´m so sad
like a good book
i can´t put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin´ by
ridin´ along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin´ by
ridin´ along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn´t know when we´d be back
and i, i don´t
didn´t think
we´d end up like
like this
