Subject: Lyr Req: Stephen Fearing, The Longest Road From: Bee Date: 13 Jul 07 - 03:54 PM Any Mudcatters have the lyrics for Fearing's lovely song, The Longest Road (Canada)? (Chords would be nice too, since I don't possess the CD to listen for them). |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE LONGEST ROAD (Stephen Fearing) From: Peace Date: 14 Jul 07 - 02:29 PM THE LONGEST ROAD I'm standing at window I'm pressed against the past I'm looking on in black and white Through the eyes of photographs And I'm falling into faces Cultivated smiles Two dimensional Je me souviens Canada Out of Gastown in the morning On a train in '69 Into the arcweld of the rising sun We left the coast behind And the wheels roll in a rhythm And I heard in them for the first time The endless song of travelling out of Canada Oh Canada, the longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've travelled out of Canada Through the dog days of the prairies Boundless sky above our heads My stepfather looked for Mounties On the streets of Winnipeg And he told them that my mother's love Had stole his heart away And we all stood there posed for Polaroids of Canada Oh Canada, the longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've travelled out of Canada I awoke wrapped in my mother's arms On the docks of Montreal Ships lit up like Christmas And the moon's swollen ball When the sailors spoke of England I'd never felt so small I waited until ocean Turned from emerald to grey The wind threshed the water' And washed our wake away And the seagulls blew like words Back to the mouth of the St. Lawrence As we sailed out on the Empress of Canada Oh Canada, the longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've travelled out of Canada ...the first country of my youth My heart was ever drawn to you Like a tongue to a broken tooth In a world where everyone was always leaving I was trying to keep my fingertips on Canada from http://pamelamurraywinters.blogspot.com/2006/08/stephen-fearing-dirty-linen-late-1997.html |
