lyrics

If Tonight

I can see the water through the trees
There’s the cry of ravens outside
Spider webs laid out like a bed
Horizon line bends slight and divides

Every stilted breath you draw
Cuts me like a miter saw – in two
Every wincing face you make
Burns me like a birthday cake – I’m through

Tall white birch always catch my eyes first
Still the pines hit me in my nose every time
Take it in somehow we forgot to begin
Canada I rarely think of you here above

Every time you call my name
I feel like a hurricane – a ghost
Every salty tear you shed
Drips inside this drowning head – and floats

Light a fire with the wood we found
Hear the seagulls make a wanting sound
If tonight we see the milky way
Maybe we won’t feel afraid
