about
music + lyrics by Nancy Gardos
lyrics
A gold rush corridor on my right
A whole lot o’ nothing rushing by
Heading towards a wilderness
it's lonely and familiar
Every story's etched in time
Miracles debated, why?
We demand an explanation
Extraordinary happens so deal with it
Beats in time
Puffs of air
Ground so deep
You can’t drown if you’re movin’
The only way to go is up
The only way to go is up
Cruising like a swallow ‘bout to land
Think I’ll up and join a rock n roll band
The nightingale, the oriole, the thrasher and the blue jay way
Jagged fury melts away
Fashion a sound
Well you can’t drown if you’re moving
The only way to go is up
The only way to go is up
Ohh you can grab my dress with no regrets
And be with me
Shake your hair and light a fire
Just remember you’re a fighter
Put up your mits and dodge that left
Extraordinary happens so deal with it
Beats in time
Puffs of air
Ground so deep
Well you can’t drown if you’re moving
The only way to go is up
The only way to go is up
The only way to go is up
