Lyrics:
I never got to hold your hand
Your arms may never be the place where I land
We never went on camping trips
I never got to taste your lips at all

You never once asked me to dance
We couldn’t quite find our way to romance 
You weren’t the one to walk me home
Or talk for hours on the phone
In the middle of the night

But you opened the door
Caught my eye and showed me the sky
Now it’s bluer than before
And my world is opened wide
And I want you by my side
But either way I’ll take that sky

I never made you soup when you were sick
I’m not the one that you call in a pinch
I don’t know how you take your tea
Or the way you look when you’re angry 
Or what you wear to bed

You never brought me any flowers 
Or looked into my eyes as minutes turned to hours
We never stayed awake all night
To make each other feel alright 
Except in my dreams sometimes 

But you opened the door
Caught my eye and showed me the sky
Now it’s bluer than before
And my world is opened wide
And I want you by my side
But either way I’ll take that sky

I still want you by my side
But either way I’ll take that sky
Either way I'll take that sky
Either way I'll take that sky

I'll Take That Sky

Halifax rain on a Saturday night
The two of us catch up after a long time
With my foot on the gas and you passenger side

Over to Grafton, we both sing along
All of these years, and we still like the same songs
Soul-bound friends, wherever we’ve gone

Like many times before
And maybe many more
I see you when the seasons change

Making the best of the ’03 Blackout
That’s how I met you on King St downtown
When I heard a guitar and followed the sound

The only one willing to open was Joe
He was cooking up pasta on his Coleman camp stove
And we all made friends on the front patio

Like many times before
And maybe many more
I find you when the seasons change

On a layover stop at Union, you call
Can we have coffee on this last day of Fall?
And I tell you the news at a sunny high top

When I cry, you reach for my hand
“It’ll be okay,” you tell me again
I needed to hear it from an old friend

Like many times before
And maybe many more
My life is on the threshing floor

And while harvest brings the grain 
That’ll see me through til the spring
I still need you when the seasons change

Love and Retreat

Siren, message bearer
When they call her name the crowd turns sour 
They’re counting on her failure
But she stands and says her piece in all her power

With her words still heavy in the air
I see her chin lift and a cold, hard stare 
The curtain closes and leaves her there

Retching in the wings 
Doubled over crying 
Hollowed out adrenaline 
Leave her body shook
But that’s the cost of living 
When you are a woman 
Who has something
That she must say

Me too, I’ve got bad news
But they told me anger’s only for the righteous 
They say, ‘Ladies should be subdued’
But I don’t know how much longer I can fight this

Truth becomes the bow that draws me in 
Turns my tongue into the arrow flint
I let it fly but the kickback wins

So now I’m retching in the wings 
Doubled over crying
Hollowed out adrenaline
Leaves my body shook
But that’s the cost of living 
When you are a woman 
Who has something
That she must say

I’m retching in the wings 
Doubled over crying
Hollowed out adrenaline
Leaves my body shook
But that’s the cost of living 
When you are a woman 
Who has something
Who has something
Who has something
That she must say
