It's breathin' time

In christmas valley

Herons fly by night

And crash into the pines

And when we're gone

From christmas valley

No one will remember you

Leave nothin' to remind

To remind



Climbed up onto fort rock

And i looked unto the town

The aquifer works so hard

To consecrate the ground



All the way to wagontire

Just a shimmer in the haze

All the way to wagontire

No one's beggin' us to stay



It's breathin' time

In christmas valley

Herons fly by night

And crash into the pines

And when we're gone

From christmas valley

No one will remember you

Leave nothin' to remind

To remind



If what you want is tarpaper

Blown off in the wind

If what you want is tarpaper

Then hold here to the end



Sister says in lewiston

Three rivers come to meet

She'll get us jobs in a restaurant

We can stagger home each night



It's breathin' time

In christmas valley

Herons fly by night

And crash into the pines

And when we're home

From christmas valley

No one will remember you

Leave nothin' to remind

To remind
