Temporarily Lost

I left eight days ago from Washington
I've got a place there on the Sound
Took Route 2 east out of Spokane
Oh, this old truck, she's been around
Went through Kalispell and North Dakota
Hit Minnesota on the way
Went around Lake Superior
Hit Des Moines earlier today
And I've been looking for something
At every bridge that I crosses
And sometimes you can feel
Like times becomes unreal
When you're temporarily lost.

Right, go right. I'm sorry.

You spend your time behind a camera
Sometimes you almost disappear
You see a waterfall in Cameroon
And start to wonder why we're here
You've gotta touch it with your fingers
And feel the way the water flow
Until you figure out the meaning
At least, I think that's how it goes.

So I've been looking for something
And who can reckon the cost?
You chase it every day
you think you're on your way
And then you're temporarily lost.

There it is. Just around the curve. Roseman Bridge.

And now, it seems to me
The way you find the key
Is to be temporarily lost.
