on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood

and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing

but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining


and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale

with you

things you said that day

up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it

with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it

as long as i could
i could not erase it


and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale

with you

and i ride along side

and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side

till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side

till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread

for me to take your word
i had to steal it


and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back

a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale

with you

i could pick back up

whenever i feel

down new mexico way

something about
the open road
i knew that he was

looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be

on this road but
we're just
impostors

in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it

feel better with
oliver stone
till i

almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the

desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad

like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you

a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side

for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear

view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood

right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think

we'd end up like
like this
