Petoskey Stone Lyrics & Chords By Dana Falconberry

treading north along the shore i comb the dune grass through my hands
lift my gaze and there it stays until two circling eagles land
stretch my stride to beat the tide i climb up higher for dry sand
then with stealth i find myself upon a hill where two pines stand
and on this white sand however far i roam forever will i find myself back home
in a lull cry two white gulls they clamor close to where i stand
night will soon fall on the dunes i gather branches with both hands
northern air oh sleeping bear oh weathered birches torn and tanned
winter’s long the wind is strong but look at you how still you stand
when i’m done just as the sun i shall set heavy upon this land
before my shade i’ll hope i’ve made a faint impression in the sand
