letra de thousand rescues - the wardens

he grew up on the west coast, in a land of sea and mountains
eyes would gaze so longingly, at the towering peaks above
cut his t–th on the squamish chief, put up routes upon that peak
eased his way up granite faces, climbing was his love

california beckoned him, the big walls of el capitan
called him from his motherland, to scale their lofty heights
he was living on adrenaline, narrow cracks and ledges thin
hammock strung from pitons, was the way he spent his nights

chorus
and the legend grows
a thousand rescues come and gone, that’s how thе story goes
and no one knows
how many times hе’s risked his life and limb
the legend of the warden known as tim

eastward to the rockies, lake o’hara called to him
he hired on as a climber to rescue stranded souls
a warden and a mountain guide, traversing high on mountain rim
this hippie from the west coast and his vertical patrols

the decades now have slipped on by, since he moved on down to banff to try
to save the weekend climbers and the young kids from the east
he studied snow, dug many pits and blew those snowy slopes to bits
when he got some good releases was when he worries least
he travelled across the continents, and climbed some manmade monuments
like a bridge called the golden gate, on a foggy moonless night
he scaled the mountains in nepal, on logan had a screaming fall
a grizzly shot right off his back, gave tim a mighty fright

they say a cat has just nine lives, tim had 10 and still survived
he’s up there climbing mountains, wisdom is his trait
running big leads up a wall, ice tools on a waterfall
born to be a leader, that was timmy’s fate
