about

Recorded in the basement, Dec. 27, 2016.

lyrics

cathy you're sleeping while i'm in the kitchen
trading the night for the morning
i can't tell if the dreamer is me half awake
or it's you beneath blankets,
worn down by your passions
but beautiful.

my head's full of novels that never get written
from trading my talents for dollars
the weeks pass me by in a cinder-block line
just these four walls these pay cheques
these hopes that grow old

the sky over the power center
is a sea full of islands where we've never been
we'll go someday, you and me
on a holiday
hold me tight in your embrace
sweep me away to a summer place
with no bills to pay
we can dream us a holiday:
is that too much to ask?

cathy, you're smiling in spite of the hard times
turning your heart towards tomorrow
i can't tell why i'm crying out here in the cold
if it's wind in my eyes
or the winter that gets in my soul.

cathy, i'm fading, a sun sick of rising
for pushing that stone up the hill
if you weren't my north star i'd wander away
sometimes i'm afraid i might still.
