Lyrics
Walking These Ridges
(c) 2018 Kristina Stykos
Guess I’ll walk
‘til I run out of sun
Guess my plans
Just won’t get done
And I been thinking
That now I don’t cry
Yeah
And I never show need
And I don’t take comforts
From a world of greed
Now I’m sitting in the snow
Up at tree line
Sipping on a flask
Of juniper wine
Puzzled by the notion that
I never said no
Never understood
Why I couldn’t let go
He took me to the drink
I tumbled through the ice
I gave it all to him
Cuz he treated me nice
He loved me good
Like a liar should
Who feels nothing
So now I don’t cry
And I never show need
And I don’t take comforts
From a world of greed
I don’t need no one
Calling my name
I don’t need any more
Walks of shame
I don’t need to trust you
Or give you my skin
So don’t ask me
It’s all just a cheat
It’s all gonna go
It’s all gonna pass
And we’re never gonna know
All of that gold
Just lying in the ground
And I get what I can
Walking these ridges
I’m not looking for a man
