Washed Ashore
04:26
|

The little there's left it's best to save
Seeking with laughter
The sound of far-distant waves
Moments and words we used to know
Back on my feet with nothing to show
The compass lost its north
Make your eyes my path
I meant to learn before
Now I feel my wrath
The pendulum is sore
They're taking out the tracks
And locking up the drawers
It's slipping out my hands
And getting washed ashore
Childhood winters playing in the snow
All long gone and have left with the glow
And I swore I'd never let go
Prudence dear prudence why do you travel so slow

Unlit Room
04:51
|
|||
I laid there shaking
In the stillness
Filling the space
Between you and I.
Coping with the loss
And internal strife
Shadows of hands stretching out
To grab me they try
Was it you in the unlit room
Picking at my wounds?
Maybe this time
I won't be so blind.
I love the sound
Of wind blowing on my house
And when winter comes
I barely go out.
A light is on the move
Or so I've been told
But all that I could find
Was a heart of coa

Love in a Cup
04:03
|
|||
In front of my eyes
The storm took form
But I am not fearful
I have poetry
To cling onto
In the dead of the night
And if you're still hurtin’
Call out to me
Love in a cup
Is what I will pour
If you're stuck in a rut
You'll always find
A place at my table
When others are blind
To your cause
I know real moments don't come ‘round a lot
So drop on by
It's brewing for you
Under my smoking chimney tonight
You might never see
How much
Of an inspiration
You are to me
To see you like this
I realize
The depth of the pain that you hide inside
Love in a cup
Is what I will pour
If you're stuck in a rut
You'll always find
A place at my table
When others are blind
To your cause
I know real moments don't come ‘round a lot
So drop on by
It's brewing for you
Under my smoking chimney tonight

Haunting Presence
03:17
|
|||
It took all the time
Why aren't we as careful
Deceivers cover your face
Waking in a hospital
The weight is all around
Eternal and invisible
Looking out for me
Looking out for trouble
As always I comply
Ain't no clarifying lies
So don't waste your precious time
Making sense of the day, of this life
Some keep going astray
The curve comes in too soon
A haunting presence
Makes its way over the dune
Floating through the hallway
And into the room
Looking for a new one
In the quiet gloom

Leave
03:52
|
|||
Have I ever been able to call this place my home?
To recoil the crazy hearts are often prone
Do I have it in me? Have I lost control?
On us my ways have taken their toll
It's out of sight and out of reach
Alone walking head down on a sunless beach
Something is missing and it's driving me away
I'm strong enough to face this
But it kills me to say...
I have to leave
My soul is aching with grief
This I can't overcome
Don't remember me for who I have become

Blue Ford Bronco
04:34
|
|||
I remember a long time ago
BTO was playing on the radio
Singing along in my father's Ford Bronco
Sitting in the back seat looking out the window
Driving through the Gatineau Hills
The beauty of the moment seemed so surreal
We stopped for poutine outside of Low.
Oh how I miss my father's blue Bronco.
Back then we drove to my grandmother's house
My uncle and aunt live there now
Sugar cream pies and crispy pork rinds
Were always on the table when we arrived
I used to sit in her rocking chair
Or go out four wheelin' take in the open air
Until it was time to go
Go back home in my dad's Ford Bronco
Sometimes I would stay a few more days
Across the street at my aunt’s place
I thought she was really kind and fun
She always had candy and a great VHS collection
The Goonies, Robocop and Total Recall
Were my favourite ones of them all
And when it was time for me to go
We drove off in my dad's Ford Bronco
I thought there was no place we couldn't go
In my father's blue Ford Bronco

How Long
04:15
|

Hearing you laugh by St Laurent Lake
brings back memories and eases my ache
Just got back, was out on the road
Making music with my friends on tour
Was thinking of you along the way
I'm glad we are together today
I helped you catch your first large mouth bass
I wish that moment forever would last
How long? How long?
Until you leap into my arms
How long? How long?
I'll call after sound check if I time
How long? How long?
The highway means money but keeps us apart
How long? How long?
At what cost the songwriter follows his heart?
Growing grim of my tired town
If I stay put too long I get myself down
My patient love waits for me at home
Tells me comforting words when we talk on the phone
Couple more hours before we take the stage
I'll no longer feel like I'm out of place
The Atlantic sky is hosting tonight
And by the seaside I can't help but wonder
How long, how long
I'll be home in twelve days; please dry your eyes
How long, how long
I look back and see you waving goodbye
How long, how long
Through a rainy window they watch me depart
How long, how long
At what cost a songwriter follows his heart?

Little Brother
04:02
|

My little brother is highly medicated
And my mother does her best trying to take care of him
I left before the storm
Looking for a light
It's so easy to get lost
On those evil streets at night
The phone keeps ringing
Yet I can't feel anything
In my hometown
The mill is endlessly bleeding
People are fleeing
As I watch the level rise
Waiting time
Trying to turn back the tide
Oh little brother
I didn't mean to leave you behind
Oh little brother
I didn't mean to leave you behind
Oh little brother
I didn't mean to leave you behind
Oh little brother
Why did I leave you behind?

The Monster
05:15
|
|||
I sing to no one
Up in the spire
And when I look down
I see only fire
What is there to be won
Will not hold any answer
The dream of a fool
Does not always bear anger
I can feel what is missing
Bound to grieve on the morrow
What keeps me within
Sadly buried in the burrow
I can’t shy away from hoping
Muddled unlike before
Tirelessly grappling with it
Pass me by once more
I had to build this bunker
In the depth of my heart
When I was a young boy
To keep afflictions afar
Everything I long for
Is on the other side
Dreading to be seen
Like the Hunchback of Notre Dame
Everything I worked for
Was to escape this life
Until I laid eyes on you
I had never stepped into the light

Outside I'm a Giant Gracefield, Québec

This four-piece band combines deep-voiced vocals, acoustic guitar, pedal steel, violin, mandolin, bass clarinet and harmonica. Lingering contemplation of nature and human nature is in abundance here. ... more
