lyrics

I swear I have never felt any warmer, but I can’t shake this chill. My body feels like a furnace and this concrete is on fire. This morning I woke up surrounded by darkness; I didn’t know where I was. I tried to drink through my sickness the night before. I tried, and failed. I made my way to the city, to see old friends before I go, and in the stillness and heat, I felt a comforting dread.

The streetcar rails go over the place under the bridge where I slept under the starts when I had nowhere else to go. I remember looking up, upon a dark Toronto sky where everything seems so unfamiliar and where the wind doesn’t call your name.

There in front of the tracks with the concrete as my witness I felt more at home in a place I’d never been, then many off the places that I have previously called my own. But all of them to one do not compare. As the clouds opened up and started pouring, I could not help but start to laugh; it seems the rain just follows me wherever I choose to go so I am glad that I am going back to you.

We can head into the forest as soon as I get home. Somewhere with a view of the ocean so we both won’t feel alone. Because in the roots I find my peace and in the waves you find the time, so when the fires have gone out and the darkness brings us down, my darling we won’t be alone.
