In my darkest hour I would hold you to the fire And burn you to the bone for my relief But I'm a man of honour Aint no dirt to grow my flowers So I'll wait for rain to cool the summer breeze All your flower dresses And your pearl necklaces They call me like the siren's sweet song So I will sail the waters surface The current surely slows and weakens And I'll paddle my way through this shallow stream alone So to the shores I go To run from veins of gold For all I know I'm a rolling stone

Hurricanes 03:27
There's a howling in my head I can't remember where the fuck I am Did we fall in love? Was that a one night stand? Our clothes are all over the floor I'm looking for a way to the door That's when she says to me Won't you give me some more Oh, I'm trying girl Just let me tie my shoes Drinking PBRs with MCR Doing The Dance in a beat up car Where do we go from here? I swear I won't go far Catch the game at Hurricanes Wearing my Leafs hat with no shame I feel your eyes on me I can't remember your name Oh, I'm trying girl But could you buy me a drink? Bring you flowers at 3am I'm falling over trying to hold your hand I think I love you girl Please give me a chance Oh, I'm trying girl Oh, I'm trying girl Oh, I'm trying girl Just tell me, who is your friend?

Nova Scotia 04:28
We left Toronto in a Town and Country van On the 401 smoking up at the Holiday Inn With one thing in sight We left it all behind Now we're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home A lot of sleepless nights from Peterborough to Montreal Singing and stomping staring at the bottom of a bottle So many friendly faces To keep us going Now we're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home Hey, Fisherman Jake, you need another cigarette? "Been here for 92 days, sleeping on this here park bench" All the best to you We hope to see you soon We're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home We're heading out of town to give a final bow in Windsor, Ontario Still smell the sea on my clothes, ya, I'll carry it with me back home Better turn this van around I left something in Halifax We're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home We're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home We're back in Halifax And it feels like home We're in Nova Scotia And we ain't ever going home

Gone 06:00
I've put aside a little time to breathe I catch you staring right through me Oh my god, what did I do? The fog is rolling and I've lost you I'm stumbling around in the dark again Just promise me that you hold my hand Drop everything and drive out east I'll write to you when its hard to sleep You won't be alone You'll always have a home with me And even if I stay I'll be gone some other day I could use one of your tearful smiles They reel me in on a hook and line I'm falling asleep at the wheel again And I can't see where the road ends You won't be alone You'll always have a home with me And even if I stay I'll be gone some other day

Stairs 04:48
I found these stairs Behind the house Behind the house I found these stairs They might not go anywhere They don't go anywhere I did see By the red and green light Red and green Stop and go When I leave no one will know I believe no one will know And I will drive This old cab This old cab Right out of town No guess where I might be found If I might be found Leave my pain In the old moonshine In the old moonshine I will leave my pain Where I'll drink it down again I will drink it down again When I go To the promised land And, to the promised land I will go I won't see anyone I know Anyone i know I found these stairs Behind the house Behind the house I found these stairs They might not go anywhere They don't go anywhere

Daddy was a mall store Santa But he got taken away He had too much Christmas spirit Or so the policemen say Thanks for the roller skates in December You ever take a look at the weather? It'll be another 4 months till I can put these on Maybe don't drink so much, you would remember The only angels in our family We made in the snow Before you open up your gifts you oughta know Daddy was a mall store Santa But he got taken away He had too much Christmas spirit Or so the policemen say Mama's running off to her boyfriends Who knows how long she'll stay And Daddy's on the phone in the kitchen Ordering festive specials from the Chalet The only angels in our family We made in the snow The asshole in the kitchen Stole my Toblerone Daddy was a mall store Santa But he got taken away He had too much Christmas spirit Or so the policemen say Daddy's face down in the front yard Here comes his black and white sleigh I look at the time And I shut the blinds Daddy was a mall store Santa But he got taken away He had too much Christmas spirit Or so the policemen say
