Debris

I left you on the debris
At the Sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends
You were looking for a bargain
I heard your footsteps at the front door
And that old familiar love song
'Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs
I went there and back
Just to see how far it is
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself
There's more trouble at the depot
With the general workers union
And you said, "They'll never change a thing
Some are fighting for not working"
I went there and back
Just to see how far it is
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself
You, you are my hero
Now you are my good friend
I've been there and back
And I know how far it is
But I left you on the debris
We both know you got no money
And I wonder what you could have done
Without me hanging around ya

My City is Gone
03:52
|

Bit by bit
And brick by brick
My city is gone
Year after year
It's been getting clearer
Now my city is gone
For the love of money
For the love of money that's why you do it
Cause everything you touch falls apart
Ends up in ruins
Towers block the sun
That used to shine on everyone
Now our city is gone
Year after year
Fear feeds on fear
Now our city is gone
For the love of money
For the love of money that's why you do it
Cause everything you touch falls apart
Ends up in ruins
Bit by bit
And trick by trick
Now my city is gone
Year after year
It's been getting clearer
Now my city is gone
For the love of money
For the love of money that's why you do it
For the love of money
For the love of money that's why you do it
Cause everything you've touched comes apart
Ends up in ruins
My city is gone

Hide Your Light
03:36

Hide your light, bide your time
Don't give in to poison minds
Love will find its way
To dance to sing
And soar on the tip of a wing
To hold the world by a string
And dare to be anything
To reach beyond
The restless need to move
The search for where we belong
Begins before we are gone
Hide your light, bide your time
Don't give in to poison minds
Love will find its way
To dance to sing
And soar on the tip of a wing
To hold the world by a string
And dare to be anything
Hide your light, bide your time
Don't give in to poison minds
Love will find its way
And dare to be anything
Love will find the way

Muscle cars & sissy bars
And menthol cigarettes
Boyhood schemes
And made up names
No such thing as regrets
Cause everything's Victoria
And just down the street
Across the tracks
We're there and back
Heading for University
And when we get where we are going
We won't stop we'll just keep rolling
Squealing tires fuel teen desire
A young man dreams about sex
Basement kisses, fumbling misses
Second base, no not there yet
Cause anything was possible
But nothing's what it seems
All the time you can't get back
When time is all that you need
And when we get where we are going
We won't stop we'll just keep rolling
And when we get where we are going
We won't stop
Until we get to Henry & James
Nothing ever stays the same
In a young man's heart
He holds on to the flame
Everything’s Victoria
And everything’s glorious

A Wednesday
03:34
|

A Wednesday meant for broken hearts to mend
Paula, Char and I begin to sing
A song by Maurice, Robin and Barry
That Gordie never minded sharing
How can a loser ever win
I'm here calling out your name
One last kiss but not goodbye
The Stones once sang that time is on my side
Who am I to say they might have lied
I know you think I must be crazy
Don't you know that you have saved me
Time and time again
I don't know why
I'm here calling out your name
One last kiss but not goodbye
I hope that death is kind to you
And I will sing
It's just past twelve when Jeff and I arrive
John's already there waiting by Dad's side
The morphine drip has kept him dreaming
Haltingly anticipating
One last breath to take before goodbye
I hope that death is kind to you
And I will sing this last goodbye

Come to My Senses
04:26
|
|||
Patiently I wait for your decision
Even though I know it's time to leave
You think that this time
You can change your mind
There's no way back
No changing direction
Gracefully I brace for the collision
Head between my knees
Long way from home
You think that this time
I have lost my mind
Well you're dead wrong
I've just come to my senses
Cautiously I face the intersection
Of what once was, and what shall be
You think that this time
You can change your mind
There's no way back
No changing direction
You think that this time
I have lost my mind
Well you're dead wrong
I've just come to my senses

One day, if someone with perfect penmanship and a great memory for details takes up a Canadian Rock Family Tree project and plots the development of the Canadian roots rock community, they may discover that many — if not all — branches and roots at some point interconnect with the Skydiggers.
