Lorraine Feather - I Hope I Never Leave This Place lyrics

I can’t recall a winter
So long or so severe.
The snow piled ‘round my cabin,
Taking me hours to clear.
The life I used to know
Has gone and left no trace.
I hope I never leave this place.

I wake up near the cool green water,
The pine trees towering high,
Go to sleep when the rest of the universe
Slowly fades into the sky.
The sea stars doze in the tidepools;
We float together in space.
I hope I never leave this place.

The wind was fast and fierce today.
I don't didn’t mind a bit.
Some people don't realize
That if you turn just right,
You can lie down on it.

If the earth should move, and the water rise,
I'll head for higher ground,
And the memory of everything
That made this home I found,
Will move me to tears for a thousand years,
As they now roll down my face.
I hope I never leave this place.
I hope I never leave this place.
