at farewell creek,
we saw a flash of light,
ontario skies dropping stars,
long-neck birds taking flight
veil of fog,
in the headlights
Make a wish, make a wish,
for what’s been left behind
fortune-tellers, readers of the skies,
This is indeed a very, very long drive.
Done trusted things,
baby’s gonna cry,
You betrayed my promises,
All you brought me was lies
(the survivor speaks:)
“look my life is my life,
and i will decide.
gotta look to my life,
gotta look to what’s mine.”
(the martyr returns:)
“i know it ain’t wrong,
to want to survive.
but there’s always a cost,
something left behind.”
come cowgirls, troubadors
round your campfire,
is your horse lost?
come take your turn,
in this long night.
Done trusted you.
baby’s gonna cry
She said,
“I knew the truth, but i lied.”
She said,
“I knew the truth, but i lied.”
She said,
“I knew the truth, but i lied.”
