One sunny afternoon, Allison
Sat on her back porch rocking chair
Sipping the lemonade she’d made the day before

Gazing at the breeze in the willow trees, she said
My life's like this hanging backyard swing
Just waiting around for someone’s hand to fling me round

And b

You surely spoiled a beautiful moment
Are you happy now?

You certainly drove me and your point right home
Like driving burning nails right through my head

With the words that you said
Did you have to leave ‘em in the back of my head?
Did you have to leave ‘em in the b

Merchants, lawyers, artists and producers
Every man's a poet seated in section A
At this time of day

She's filling them up and she's filling the coffee cups
She glides around every eye attempting not to stare
No we don't care

Ooh marie
How can I say something new

Caught in the rain
It’s been quite a while since I looked at the sky
I’m preoccupied
Well, that’s what I say when I don’t feel like talking

Who’s at the door?
I’d know that face on just about any day
I’m not going out
With these puffy eyes drooping down to the floor

I don’t know what to say when you look at me this way
Like you’ve stepped into the wrong room
Like you just remembered forgetting something

Try to understand that I used to put my head in the sand
Always feeling like an actor
Always living life in character

Oh, I, I’m

Now I feel the urgency
One last lap from this little hand
And I’m putting on my very best shirt
Though I’m not sure which way I want this to go

And as I set the table
To you I am invisible

Let’s go back to last summer
So much has happened since then
Would you

I woke up late and thought of you
It still happens time to time
You know the more I try to fade out all those memories of you
The more I find you creeping back in my mind
Something’s there that won’t be left behind

And I don’t know what to do about it
And my world is cr

Something about you
Reminds me of a cool autumn day
Birds fly away
The feeling of the north wind that blows in the cold

Colourful leaves that
Fall from the trees
They dance through the air
Till they’re crushed underfoot
Do you loathe growing old?
It’s only w

What gets decided when you lie in bed
Replaying scenes that go round in your head?
And breathing in nothing thinking of something
When will it be too much?

When was the last time you played make-believe
Heroes and villains and lines you can see?
You said if I’d really k

Facing the secluded highway
Waiting for a stranger to reconcile the view
Birds sing alleluia and tumbleweeds roll on and on
And what are we to do?

Misty clouds on the horizon
Promises of rainfall unravel at every turn
To quiet the echoing silence we holler out a murmur<

Thank you for the stew
You’ve always been a friend
And a complementary provider of sorts

Did I tell you Jane just up and moved away?
She rode a train and disappeared on the horizon
Saying something about getting to Whitehorse

You’ve got nothing to lose
In your sol

It seems like yesterday
Love was young and we were wise
Standing hand in hand
We’d watch the city move on by
We had no need to know beneath our feet the earth was turning

I left the house at six
The winter morning’s hard to face
The streets are desolate but soon it
