i've never seen a moose in the wild Lyrics

There are days when the thought of leaving slips into my mind

It's a thought that is dark and far from kind

And most of the time I wonder how it worked its way to a place

That leaves me feeling burdened blind and behind

But I'm fine

At least that's what I tell myself from time to time

But I can't leave

I can't leave because I have yet to see the sun set over and through the redwood trees

And I can't leave because I have yet to find rest in the mess

And I still have a little something more to give than my best

And I can't leave because next Saturday I made plans and I don't want to be late

And I can't leave because I love the way she cooks

And part of me wonders at age 74 how I will look

And as silly as it sounds

I've never seen a moose in the wild

And I want to see a moose in the wild

And I can't leave because for as hard as living can be

I can't help but believe there is beauty beginning to bloom out of the brokenness

I believe there is

And I am going to see it
