about

A song memorializing well-loved Talkeetna bush pilot Keli Mahoney, who died in a plane crash while flying up to Denali in the Alaska Range. She had flown musicians Karen Savoca and Pete Heitzman around Denali, and they both appear on this track, on harmony and beautiful layered guitars.

lyrics

We stood in line
We said hello
We didn’t know about tomorrow
A perfect sky
Lit up your eyes
You cracked a smile as we waved goodbye

Fly away through the snow covered hills
Unafraid
I see you smiling still

Silver wings
The runway’s clear
What’s behind the clouds, you merry pioneer?
You belong
To this wilderness
Safe and strong, you raised the bar for all of us

Fly away through the snow covered hills
Unafraid
I see you smiling still
