We Had So Much Left To Explore
Here off the Raritan
On this quiet side of Princeton
There's not much to do I know
So we hiked in the Sourlands
You bring the map but I
I keep it folded
We'll find our way
Pioneers emboldened
But we had so much left to explore
When the days get short
We'll wish for someone close
So we share our secrets
Some things we only whisper
Lime green and true blue
I slowly learn you
The names of your sisters
Old family pictures
But we had so much left to explore
Snowfall on the ground
Oh Christmastime is coming
Walk in the quiet night
The silent streets of our town
Though I was leaving, you
You simply stood there
Oh the silence and
Breathe in the cold air
But we had so much left to
I'm sorry to leave but please see that
Portland called to me
And I could not love because
Distance is no reprieve
And I made no guarantees
For you who disagreed
Oh how we disagreed
We had so much left to
To conquer this continent and the breadth of its shores
And every last thought if I knew all the words
To take you to every last place on this Earth
Well, we had so much left to explore
