Through it all, you stood flush and tall
Like a rose on a ridge in the night
You cut the corners out of your gray doubt
And sang in tones full and bright
Analise, I'm sorry
I always thought you'd be around
When the aspen leaves start changing
I'll think of you and peace you never found
You stole the show, they'd dance and never know
Of your demons and their reasons to conspire
They could not tear apart your gay heart
But on that summer's day got your mind
Analise, I'm sorry
I always thought you'd be around
When Fall Creek starts raging
I'll think of you and the peace you never found
There's fear in hope, there's clear in smoke
And we all came here from somewhere else
If not for barren lands, would this range be grand?
Analise, goodbye
Analise, I'm sorry
I always thought you'd be around
When the aspen leaves start changing
I'll think of you and the peace you never found
I'll reach out to my friends who are still around
