There was a rainbow over Hope so I pulled off for a grilled cheese Saw the reflection of the sunset in the okanogan valley I drove the Coquihalla listening to Scorpion I played in a record store in Calgary and was on my way when I was done
I've felt the Lord in the breath of the prairies And driving by the mountain sky Holy snow, holy green A woman on Denman, she took my hands for dancing I've observed this country catch my float and cradle me
I read my horoscope in the Coffee News at the oldest cafe in the coulees Got me all defensive, said all pisces swim lonely The woman behind the counter was a swan just like my sister Hers is the self-consoling voice in my head She don't know that I miss her
A woman sits reading, she acts like she is expired From hitch-hike days, bellbottomed boys Water and desire She'd like me married but sees her face when she looks at me My mother is my country Let me go but cradle me
I met a man on an island he played the fiddle he played the game We walked among the oysters, he was lonely just the same If it weren't for rehearsal maybe he'd catch my show tonight But in the morning I'll be on a ferry, in the evening I'll catch my flight
I am Amelia, I can warm my own hands And I'll deny most nights I long To crash into a man Let me crash fiercely, oh make me needy oh make me weak I'm at home when I'm alone But take my weight and cradle meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
