[Intro]
[Verse]
Pine needles thick beneath my boots
Tangled in the hemlock roots
Canvas bag is heavy on my back
Tucked inside the weathered pack
Faded ink on yellowed pages
Wages earned for lonely ages
I track the ridge where the eagles fly
Underneath the copper sky
[Pre-Chorus]
From the smoke of the logging camp
To the glow of a kitchen lamp
I’m the ghost upon the trail
Carrying the mountain mail
[Chorus]
(Oh, let the words fly home) Let them fly
(Across the ridge and the sky) Way up high
I’m the bridge that no one sees
Walking through the cedar trees
(Keep the fire) Burning bright
(Through the cold) Of the night
Every line is a hand to hold
More precious than the mountain gold
[Verse]
Fire tower stands so tall
Watching for the embers' fall
Smoldering in the morning dew
I’ve a note for Jane and Sue
Crumpled edges, folded tight
Written by the kerosene light
They tell of saws and heavy timber
Hearts that ache and souls that shimmer
[Pre-Chorus]
From the smoke of the logging camp
To the glow of a kitchen lamp
I’m the ghost upon the trail
Carrying the mountain mail
[Chorus]
(Oh, let the words fly home) Let them fly
(Across the ridge and the sky) Way up high
I’m the bridge that no one sees
Walking through the cedar trees
(Keep the fire) Burning bright
(Through the cold) Of the night
Every line is a hand to hold
More precious than the mountain gold
[Bridge]
Miles are long and the hills are steep
Promises that a man must keep
Fiddle cries in the canyon breeze
Bringing the giants to their knees
Love is a map in a stranger's hand
Scattered across this timber land
[Solo]
[Verse]
Sun is setting in the west
Give the weary soul a rest
One more mile until the town
Lay the heavy burden down
I’ll take the answers back again
Through the mud and through the rain
Just a ranger on his round
Walking on this sacred ground
[Chorus]
(Oh, let the words fly home) Let them fly
(Across the ridge and the sky) Way up high
I’m the bridge that no one sees
Walking through the cedar trees
(Keep the fire) Burning bright
(Through the cold) Of the night
Every line is a hand to hold
More precious than the mountain gold
[Outro]
