- ...On the Run
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord
We been facing this day, facing us both
Oh, the lights go down
On a life been running through now
And our love was on the run now
The dust came out
- All We've Ever Known
The winter's wrappin' around your throat
Hit our life with a terrifying force and style
Never wrong, never grown
And all alone, all alone
It's alright, it's all you've ever known
All alone, just hidden in the cold
It's alright, it's all you'll ever know
- Barnes' Yard
Oh let's lie down for another night
I'll hold you close under these skies
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night
We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the light
Your father's on his way back home from site
Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelash
- Coldest Days
Well oh lord it's tearing us apart,
Winter love is holding onto your heart.
And I would never be the one to starve,
The Winter love that's holding onto your heart.
I held you in the coldest days,
I held you in the coldest ways,
I never know what will start to pick up and change.
- Dont Haunt This Place
Don't haunt this heart,
Don't haunt this place,
Your heart beating slow as it beats out a pace,
West side apartment grows lonely and dark,
West side apartment is two more empty hearts.
I see your keys hanging in the same place,
They haven't moved for a month or even a day,
- edmonton
What'll I do if you never wanna come back
Sittin in a city that is always on the attack
What'll I do if you never want me back
Come with me come back we'll live again
And what if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
Sittin in a city that'll never let me go
What if I'm only satisfied when I'm at home
- four night rider
cold wind whipping through the windows
freezing each of the lymph nodes
maybe we gotta try
to get out of town
and I will
I love you, you know
you love me and it shows
- Frank, AB
My Love I will hold on to your touch
Until there's nothing left of us
.... save you from this life
And the cold depths of the rocky clutch
Won't take away our love
.... save you from this life
- Good Night
Good night, good night
Good night, good night
Good night, good night
Good night, to the northern winters,
And the heartless sinners,
I haven't seen you now for a while
But you have burnt yourself in my mind.
- In the Summertime
In the summertime,
I don't know if the stars were aligned.
We'd stumble onto something we would like
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight
And in your summer dress, was holding you
But you were holding less
It's not the words, it's the ones you stress
- Letting Go
It's time to let you go
In the dark, I'm waiting in the cold
You know
Full night drive's pretty far
Then again, pretty close
It's time to let you go
The fire's for the lies you never want to know
- Muscle Relaxants
Well hanging out on muscle relaxants,
Trying hard to see the worst that can happen now
I never know what's holding you up
And I never know when I'm holding you too much.
Wouldn't you try to find something else to bring you up
You don't know what you like.
And I could find something else to bring you up
- North Star
Well our eyes,
Watching the stars one at a time,
I lost the words I'm clutching on your hand tight,
Wear a small sweater and it looks nice,
I never felt better.
Then the North Star,
Guiding us home in your friend's car,
- Our Love...
Our love, love, love, love will bring you down
Our love, love, love, love will bring you down
And the summer on the run, I slowed it down
By the fire we were young, our heart knows it pounds
Swear to God, a million odd, to make it right now
And I can still bring us down right, now and then
- Stamp
Send it off with a stamp
As the winter locks in the branches above you higher than where we've loved.
It's never coming back,
And the hardest thing about this love is that you're never coming back.
Hold me close while you can,
It's hard to remember the end of December holding onto the past.
You're never coming back.
- Terrified
I’m terrified
Honey, I got you if you pull the knife
It’s only right
Put your hand around the hilt tonight
Lovers unaffected, how did you expect it’d go?
Lovers undetected, how did you expect to grow old?
- The Ballad of The RAA
We invariably left the prairies
In my heart
Since we never moved an inch
Does the love grow
Home with the wild rose, now
Somethings moving out here
We invariably left the prairies
- The Breakup
When the ice breaks,
When the hearts shake in the town and it marks the end of Winter,
The end of our love for now.
And you spent your Summers,
Your Summers in the south in the Central Rockies
And I left you now.
- The Deadroads
OOOooooo x4
It's a long way now through the deadroads in our hometown
I never tried
to hold you tight until you left me and fade
Neighborhoods under the lights
We felt our hearts so strong
- The Dethbridge In Lethbridge
I left your heartbeat in this town
I left your heartbeat in the ground
& when there's nothing for us now
You let me down I let you down
When your Grandfathers in the ground
We live in this old aching town
Our creaking bones won't make a sound
- This City
The city is cold and it cuts through my toque
I file into your rust-covered coupe
I don't know what we're going to do
I don't want to be there by you
As the city explodes through the defrosted view
I don't know what we're going to do
- To Be Scared
Oh, there's nothing to be scared
Oh, there's nothing to be scared of
Tonight, I got you running in my mind
Lord, I got you hanging on a line
Go to sleep on rotten bed alone lonely night
Lord, my God you're running out of time
Oh, there's nothing to be scared of
- Tornado '87
Oh lord I've found you, I held you tight
Oh I, and the villains I pull into the sky
And our heart's shake in it
This summer night, oh I
Let's lie down in the basement tonight
I let you go, I let you go,
- Two Lovers
Two lovers stuck in a sweet embrace,
Hoping to never move or change,
In the lost love and dust of a summer home,
Two people growing up and getting old.
And in the light of a thousand eyes,
I never want to lose you tonight.
And all the lovers are civilized,
- Under the Knife
The end of your aching life,
We're slipping under the knife,
It's never gonna hold us,
Tear us apart when you tears us apart tonight.
The end of your aching life,
They'll straighten your crooked spine up,
And our love grown cold when I'm holding you close tonight.
- Vulcan, AB
Oh the night under those prairie skies
Is a lonely heart like yours is breaking mine
In my life I've been about as far as I've climbed
And the winter's hiding our desire lines
But I'm gonna wake you up, gonna break you out
Gonna steal your heart, gonna save you now
Gonna try, gonna fight, gonna forget how
And I'm gonna tell you lies, gonna let you down
