Took a picture of you there By the side of the road Red flannel shirt And a sad look in your eyes Spring of '91 You were the dancing girl I was the kid behind the drums You said don't be so shy If you don't mind It's not emotional 'Cause everybody knows I length I would go To put my arms around you Your mountains in the snow I'd love to stay In the coldest day But summer's gone And I must go Alaska I'm coming home You said I lost my way I took another step And if it snows all day Don't be so surprised All winter long Cold water in the tap Reading books on the stairs And the radio playing Gypsy Alaska, don't you miss me It's not emotional It's not emotion 'Cause everybody knows I length I would go To put my arms around you Your mountains in the snow I'd love to stay In the coldest day But summer's gone And I must go Alaska Alaska I'm coming home
