"If you could go anywhere would that be here?
Would you go everywhere to battle your years?
And I know what you told me was so proper then
But it doesn’t seem too fitting now
To be spending the rest of our lives in a cage
On the corner of Davie and Howe

If you could see anything what would it be?
An acre of concrete or an acre of trees?
‘Cause the city is fine with its culture and crime
But the pressure’s been getting to me
And I’d much rather be by the wind and the sea
I’d much rather be by the wind and sea
A fire, my true love and me"

From the Ryerson session, early 90s, Toronto. Recorded with John Hajdu at Ryerson University.

Tired Of Lines

Marc Grainge - Sarah’s Song

I can hear your voice
It’s coming through my door
I can hear the sound of your whisper
in my head, as I did the night before
I can feel your breath come in, come over me
entangle every part of me
and lift me to the calm above the storm

I can touch your eyes
they’re above your nose
They’re above your lips
which I kiss and I wish
that I could leave them alone
But it’s so hard when I am in your arms
Swim the ocean of your charms
I’d become the land you’d call your own

Listen to my heart, 
and tell me how it beats
Does it skip and run and then jump
then stop like footsteps down the street?
If only you would never start in me
This walk in my insanity
I’d be as dull as I was once before

Written for Sarah Evans.
