Canada
Laura Alden
I have built a home lately at the bottom of my heart
Say you found the patience lately to forget the things we're not
I believed in miracles, on your worn in couch up north
I believed in miracles
'Cause you plant a garden in me
In the cracks of my old wound
With wildflowers and lillies
Patches of sunlight they move over me
Shadow-play through the trees
Coffee stains on your brother's fleece
You come here wide-eyed out the blue
I wanna see canada and the creeks and the wolves
And I know better but so do you
I wanna see canada and the creeks and the wolves
Film of upstate Michigan and your never-resting mind
Take me back to patterns that I find in the face you left behind
And I would trace those lines for evermore
But I'm not a traveler, I've just never known home
You come here wide-eyed out the blue
I wanna see canada and the creeks and the wolves
And I know better but so do you
I wanna see canada and the creeks and the wolves
I wanna see the weather changing
I wanna feel the seasons on my skin
And the wolves
Canada and the creeks and the wolves
