If New Orleans Is Beat - (The Tragically Hip Cover)

Rest In Peace Poppa

Can you feel it, feel the thunder? 
And the pulses from your head to your feet
Can you see it, see the rainfall? 
As it echoes down every street 

As I’m calling, not a whisper 
Not a plead, just a how are you? 
When its times for, conversation 
It’s a flash, over with and through 

Do you wonder, what I’m thinking? 
Like how I do with you
Like the branches, of a willow, 
Will you sway in the wind of the moon? 

Not unspoken, or out of anger 
Out of fear, that we’re out of time 
Watch the shadows, on the ocean 
With no reason or no rhyme 

Do you question, all these sailboats? 
Drifting in the afternoon 
Like the branches, of a willow
Will you sway in the wind of the moon 

Listen to me when it’s done 
And I’ll hear you, and I’ll heal you 

And sway like the willow in the moon

Branches of a Willow

I remember, a simpler time 
I remember, down a different line 
When you would pick me up as if I were weightless
And when I came down I grew of strength and patience 
I remember all the time 

We would wake with the sunrise
Stay out til the rain
I worked my bones with the knowledge that I gained 

I know if you could you would have stayed 
I’ll always remember us in our golden days 

In the springtime, we would work all day 
In the garden, through the middle of May 
Those mornings in your truck 
With somewhere to go 
I took it for granted, back then I didn’t know 

I remember, it wasn’t so long ago 

We would sleep with the moon
With the sweat on our brows 
If I only I understood what I know now 

I know if you could you would have stayed 
I’ll always remember us in our golden days 

I want your belly laugh back 
And your emerald eyes 
I want the seconds back when you were by my side 
 
I’ll always think of you on the brighter days 
I’ll always remember us in our golden days

Golden Days

How do you settle in to a place you don’t belong? 
How do you drive home a point when you can’t find your song? 
All those before you, they don’t your name 
Sometimes the embers are the hottest of the flames 
The burning of the flame

Don’t look, don’t ask 
Don’t ever take it back 
You are the underdog 
The one they’ll have to pass  

They’re not defense wounds, you went for the kill
And if they don’t understand, they’re not worth the blood that you spill
There difference between passion and skill 

Don’t look, don’t ask 
Don’t ever take it back 
You are the underdog 
The one they’ll have to pass  

Don’t give in
Don’t let them win 
You gotta lot of heart

The Underdog

Right past the cemetery 
Far beyond the house on the hill 
Where the ground would slowly crumble 
Where nobody knew it’s will 

There used to be a haunted field
Even the scarecrows would runaway 
A place that never made it on the maps
Where all signs of life would decay 

Where the world ends
Navigation’s got no views 
Where the streets blend into the dead ends
Where you might have friends that warn you
Whisper to you, the memory feeds you 
But the answers don’t come on through 

The children seem to all go missing 
Like a fog into the air 
They were searched for then abounded 
And nobody seems to care

Have you seen them? 
They’re hanging at the end of the word 
Where there’s no pictures no codes or scriptures 
Where they turn to ghosts that haunt you
Whisper to you, the memory feeds you
But the answers don’t come on through 

Maybe all of the souls will reunite 
Til the sun starts to burn through the daylight

Where the World Ends

In the summer days 
I was not afraid 
I could smell the grass 
And the sideways rain 

In the storm clouds above my head 

I would run inside 
To find a place to hide 
Little did I know 
I was the lightning strike 

The one to knock everyone down 
Everyone down 

And the music is always in my head 
And I hear it, every word that you said 
And I feel you in this raging storm 
And I feel that our days are just being born 

In these trying times 
Only we survive 
Dancing in the wind 
Oh god I feel alive 

Cause I can feel the rain
And I can see the sun 
Back when I was amazed 
Back then I was younger 

I can see the sunshower my sunflower

Coda 

When I’m feeling tired and my body’s weak 
You are the melody, with every word that you speak 
You’re orchestrated, with every one of your moves 
We’re syncopated, and now I’m locked in your groove 

And you heal me 

When we sway, it’s always in 4/4 time 
You are the backbeat, the reason and the rhyme 
There’s a bass pounding, it’s thumping in my chest 
We can’t get much louder than when we’re at our best 

And you heal me 
Reveal me 

You paint me in your reverb tones 
I play to you like a metronome 
Even the nosebleeds can see 
When you and I play the same key 

When I’m feeling tired 
And my mind is weak
You are my only coda
You are a poets dream 

You heal me 
Reveal me
