about

On being alone.

lyrics

Farewell my brothers, farewell my sister, and farewell my mother the same. I'm out on the prairies now and I'm not so sure how I'll ever get back home again. It's a long way from Ontario, fifty sad songs by stereo, I counted them all on the way. Thirty-five by Saskatchewan, where I played another one, fourteen made the rest of the way. Tonight the moon's low down, a soft breeze flows through town, I stand on my front porch amazed. And downhill the river my dreams will deliver and a bridge for the crossing I made.

Well I'm all alone now and I never knew just how much all-aloneness could kill. I thought I was strong but when things get too wrong I can't count on the mindset or will. My thoughts problematic, the bells of St. Patrick's and morning time angels ring true. When Sunday comes callin' my night fears have fallen and doubt washes out with the dew. Without rhyme or reason it's my perfect season replacing a season in hell. If not for the distance, sequestered existence, I'm prone to state matters are well.
