Juniper Falls   (Music - Robb McCormick, Lyrics - Ed McGee)

‘This is where it all runs out,’ she said,
‘This is where it goes.’
I was looking at the juniper,
She was taking off her clothes.
Swimming in the waterfall
And it began to rain,
She said, ‘this is where it all runs out,
It’ll never be the same.’ 

I’m lost when she’s gone from me,
And I’m lost when she’s here,
Enslaved by her confidence,
Freed by my fear. 

Took a walk real late last night
Just to clear my mind,
Saw Venus near the half moon,
Took it as a sign,
But it seemed I’d lost control somehow
Or was steered against my will.
No matter my direction, I’d
Wind up on Juniper Hill. 

This is where it all runs out,
This is where it goes,
The river of our history,
Off to God only knows.
And I know she never needed me,
But she was not unkind.
She said, ‘this is where it all runs out,’
That never leaves my mind.
