lyrics

Everyone gathers around the child
counting blessings with mercy mild
Just why I came I do not know
or maybe, maybe I do

Though I burn bright inside
and wonders deep in me abide
and ancient music in dried up river beds
travel neural pathways from my toes to my head

I could spend a lifetime collecting beer cans and plastic bags
from the beach grass on the south side of Toronto Island
but what good would that do I’d better go inside
and make friends with my destructive side

Burn as I burn you’re the colour of my eyes
and the sound of my childhood cries
no matter matters no flame returns from ash
my life is littered with these illusions

Oh it may seem long, sometimes never ending
the lifespan of this garden we’re tending

The churning of earth, the gathering of steam,
the chasm in waiting our footsteps receiving
