lyrics
My brother calls me in distress
looking for another breath
say I’ve only got one left in the pack
Says I’m calling from a bloody bed
don’t worry I think that’s all of it
and Death enters
Head back to the house
where he said it all went down
the lights are on the ground now
But to tell you the truth out loud I didn’t have the heart to hear the sounds
Death was all around
We don’t live there now
we reminisce about the sweet smells
all the ones we tucked in the breast of our blouse
Like deep snow in December
first cigarette of summer
bannock in the oven
But can you imagine a crowd?
Would you imagine a crowd around you now?
In front of all the people
My cousins call out in the winter
what I wish I could give them
but there’s no pedigree when we’re half breeds
Have you at least heard the good news
they said we will save you
Death meanders around the room
I have this dream I can’t feel anything
I guess it’s more a fantasy
But can you imagine a crowd?
Would you imagine a crowd around you now?
In front of all of the people
In front of all of the people
In front of all of the people
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
