[Verse 1]
It seems like a long time
But it's been no time
In the course of a lifetime
Since you've gone
The crack in the window
Is that how you got through?
Dogs howl, is that you?
The setting sun

[Chorus]
You took a wild rose from Alberta
Brought it east to press upon this yellowed page
One lost day

[Verse 2]
Once by a coal mine
A terrible landslide
Crushed the hopes of the incline
Engraved their bones
As hard as I try
I just can't let it lie
I get the feeling you haven't
Quite made it home

[Chorus]
You took a wild rose from Alberta
Brought it east to press upon this yellowed page
One lost day
[Bridge]
Can't call it sorry, can't call it sad
Maybe just the same as how a song can take you back
More like that

[Verse 3]
Heirlooms and stories
Pieces of jewelry
Snapshots of a revelry
A lullaby
The journey out west
Full of secrets I'd guess
Never since been at rest
The hurricane eye

[Chorus]
You took a wild rose from Alberta
Brought it east to press upon this yellowed page
One lost day
