“I Can See Russia from Alaska (When I Look in Your Eyes)” by Matthew Brookshire

Great song title, witty lyrics (you can read them below the fold) and not a half-bad song either…

I Can See Russia From Alaska (When I Look In Your Eyes)
(Brookshire/Jaramillo 2008)

Nobody had any faith
Oh, they thought we would fail,
But look how we blossomed here
Under the midnight sun.
Wrapped in the fur of a bear
and the skin of a whale,
huddled together
we battle the Outside as one.

Who else on earth could I turn to
when the Devil comes round spreading lies?
I can see Russia
from Alaska
when I look in your eyes.

Thanks, but no thanks
To that bridge, but Id take a kiss
From the bush town Beauty
Wholl bring any moose to its knees.
Like Esther, brought to the king
For a time such as this
To rescue her people
And punish all our enemies

Who else on earth would I run to
If tomorrow brings rapturing skies
I can see Russia
from Alaska
when I look in your eyes.

We will not blink
We will not think
We dont question
We wont compromise
I see Heaven
From Alaska
When I look in your eyes.

Not to mention beautiful scenery.  They may grow some nutters up there, but I really want to climb that stuff!

Yeah, great wildlife shots too.  This woman is the steward of some of the most fabulous wilderness areas in the world and her inclinations are to kill and drill.
