lyrics

my heart breaks along the banks of the Niukluk River mama's fallen ill but daddy's with her thousands of miles blinded by the sun oh don't you know that I am troubled by the same one - and the river runs naturally low as it could ever be I'm so far away - it's the first night of summer today

and my heart attempts to heal on the wheels of Lou-Ella she breaks down nearly every day with so much road beneath her she's got one more trip to go before the snow she wants to fly and so do I - she's got 9 kinds of pain and she don't care for the rain oh so far away - on the first night of summer

my love grows fonder with each memory I wander through I know she wants a family the sun is dancing on her eyes and I don't know if she's happy or just wants to cry when I tell I don't know if I am ready - I've go 9 kinds of pain and I'll just admit to one she is so far away - on the first night

now the moon is just a sliver hangin high above the river August might just be for writin' songs not rightin' wrongs or makin' dinner - what if this is all I have, maybe all I'll ever be just tell me if I can make it easy - you want me to say the words stop and listen look at me I'm so far away on the first night of summer
