"Fighting The Mosquito Wars" lyrics - LITTLE FEAT

Say goodbye to the simple things
Say goodbye to all of that
Ever wonder where a road can lead you
When you've turned your back
Sittin' on the banks of a north flowing river
All the years and tears flowing down
Lookin' for a lazy mans way out
Under vast untroubled skies

Say what you will
Is what i see what others see
Say what you will
This is my territory now

Lookin' up not a cloud in the sky
Been gone for years
Fighting the mosquito wars
Still carry the scars but they're fading away
I'll see you on the other side some day

The sun setting off of her smile
It was pure magic
Can still see her wading hip high in green water
Watching the dancing northern lights
Ghosts in the sky ghosts in the sky
Stealing the thunder

So say goodbye to the simple things
Say goodbye to all of that
How can you know where a road can lead to
When you turn your back
I took a hike in the costal mountains
All the years and tears flowing down
The sun on the ocean shone like a jewell
A whisper of better times
Of better times

Lookin' up not a cloud in the sky
Been gone for years
Fighting the mosquito wars
Still cary the scars
But they're fadin' away
I'll see you on the other side some day
