lyrics

I always thought that love could save almost anyone
But I thought wrong, yeah I thought wrong
I hear them say the dark night is before the day
But the winter winds are here to stay till spring

I had a friend who said “I’m heading out west, I won’t be back again”
Today I picked him up down at the greyhound station
Cuz all our dreams fall flat on their face, slip away downstream
Just autumn leaves into the ocean floor

The ocean floor is the hardest fall
I took a plane to Montreal
Drove my car to Winnipeg
When I got home there was nothing left
For me to think or do or say
I headed south, I took the train
Till your ghosts all caught up with me
And now I’m stranded here
