[Verse 1]
It's been a while since I met you up north
There's a caravan in Madison that leaves on the fourth
I suppose you're home, driving back in the plains
Seattle and so forth
It's looking like they all need some rain

[Verse 2]
The other week we were traveling along
Three cords of wood, seven kids, and a dog
The summer's short, the hours are long
Postcards without any postmark
I'm already gone

[Chorus]
Somewhere in the northwest
I'm there at your doorstep
As soon as you call and you say come around
To follow the trend lines
A friend in the end times
We could use a hand finding higher ground

[Bridge]
Those miles run far
I'm willing to trade
And leave behind the greatest of lakes
For the mountain view from Elliott Bay
While I'm humming softly to a song with your name
[Chorus]
Somewhere in the northwest
I'm there at your doorstep
As soon as you call and you say come around
To follow the trend lines
A friend in the end times
We could use a hand finding higher ground
Somewhere in the northwest
I'm there at your doorstep
As soon as you call and you say come around
To follow the trend lines
A friend in the end times
We could use a hand finding higher ground
