On that red dirt morning, packed a wagon Boarded a boat, sailed from that Island In a schackled sea, shook us in the east Waves in the wind, at our feet So sing me Sing me the blues The shade was a secret the sun wouldn’t share Colour of night, was her hair And those burnt bones mingled, by-and-by Hand holdin daydreams, throughout the night So...Learn More

I want to hold on to this Like a Nova Scotia summer They come and they go so quick Be my mid-August water All year long I’ve made my bed like the ice it is thick I’ve gotten used to the winter I’ve kicked the seas off of me in my dreams And rolled out of bed like a lover Undone It’s not a dream anymore But I cannot handle the flood If you want to...Learn More

Hmm It’s so nice to hum along To an old familiar song Pack up my lunch and turn off the stereo Nothin here says stay And nothin here says go But later on tonight There’ll be a flicker of light And I will think that I saw A glimpse of you through the blue I’ll stay for you And I’ll go too Hmm I wonder if I have the kind Of heart that knows how to...Learn More

She came into my room, to make sure I was alright She knew where I was and what I was doing last night Sounds from behind that hotel room door Uncertain unfaithfulness to settle a score She’s the maid, the maid of honor My fate laid upon her It was late to bed and early to rise The ring on my finger caught her surprised Secrets with strangers over...Learn More

I was young and went to school and fell in love and lost it all I got a job that paid the bills and had a child and she grew up I learned a lot about life and love How can you not? I bought a car and drove right across Canada I met the best friend I ever had in Winona We tried to forget about life and love How can you not? And it’s all just a...Learn More

The hour is fairweather, it never really knows the time In its eking lime it tells me You don’t wanna go anywhere You don’t wanna go anywhere You don’t wanna go anywhere You don’t wanna go anywhere The day’s a place you go without much pause And the evenin’ is a shadow on its ship Ferryin’ from the island to the shore The day becomes the evenin’...Learn More

Quicker than a sailor on shore leave The guilt got greater, you can believe Being taken in every direction All breaking perfect perfection I'll serenade those who surrendered Wave the white flag All ravished and rendered Salivating snarls dispersed their luck Opened to one from every flock Bound to will, stirrеd in regrets Lost in a salt chuck of...Learn More
