Maple Mile

Maple leaves in the rearview;

Golden miles ahead;

I kept your laugh in my pocket;

Like a small warm thread;

Rolled out before the sunrise;

Packed like promised me;

One coat, one song, one photo;

And a map on my knee;

Passed the diner with;

Like a blue sign in the fields turned gold;

Every town I remember feels like stories

I was told;

And then it says, keep on going;

Little by little, breathe;

Every place leaves a fingerprint under my sleeve;

Keep me on the road;

Keep me in the glow;

Maple mile;

Maple mile, watch me go;

Keep me on the road, keep me in the groove;

Maple mile, maple mile, I already know;

Now the rain taps the window, then the sky turns clear;

I found your name in a postcard from this time last year;

There was fog on the river and a train gone by;

We were young in the cold air with the same soft sky;

And the wind says, keep on going, little by little, breathe;

Every place leaves a fingerprint;

Under my sleeve;

Keep me on the road;

Keep me in the glow;

Maple mile, maple mile;

Watch me go;

Keep me on the road;

Keep me in the glow;

Maple mile;

Maple mile, I already know;

I fold the old receipts,

I save the little things;

A ticket stub, a sunset, and the change that seasons bring;

If I miss what's behind me,

I let it drift through;

Then I step into the morning like it's made for you;

Keep me on the road, keep me in the glow;

Maple mile, maple mile;

Watch me go;

Keep me on the road;

Keep me in the glow;

Maple mile, maple mile;

I already know;

Maple mile, maple mile;

Soft and slow;

Maple mile;

Maple mile, that's how I grow;

Maple leaves in the rearview;

Gone, but not gone far;

I carry every season;

Wherever you are;
