Still Married
               

Lyrics

There's a season for laughter
A season for tears
We've reaped and sowed
And made this home
For twenty lucky years
Take the atlas out
Trace east-bound routes
Through canyons fields and farms
Then twilight strikes the mountainside
and Shasta turns on her charms

Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Reminds me I'm not the leaving' kind
Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Siren of fire and snow
And I can't go

I plan my escape when
The Shasta summers blaze
But meadows lined with columbine
Conspire to make me stay
Seduced by trees
With golden leaves
In soft September sun
And I'm mesmerized
By her winter white
When December comes

Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Reminds me I'm not the leaving' kind
Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Siren of fire and snow
And I can't go

Troubles may come
Hide beauty divine
behind the clouds
I will not run
I will stay
Till they lay me
In the ground

Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Reminds me I'm not the leaving' kind
Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Siren of fire and snow
And I can't go

Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
Shasta, oh Shasta When She Shines
