Lyrics Rainier - Hoist the Colors

Rainier

Drive all night
just to see your face
through hills of snow and fields of flame
and the rain falls now
on the window pane
and up on Mt. Rainier
So we drink all night
til the sun it shines
then kiss beneath the dripping pines
those city lights
shine bright like your eyes
I wish I could stay tonight
Patience
may be a virtue someplace else
but our time is running out
and life won’t wait, won’t wait
So I call you up from a roadside phone
my heart is broke and I’m halfway home,
and I can’t stand another day
without you near
without you near
So you sold your clothes
all the things you own
packed a bag and left a note
and from a window seat,
with no ticket home,
said goodbye to Mt. Rainier
