I had to get away, so long to my hometown Time for some new tale spinning. But the bells oh the bells of my hometown Sometimes they’re still ringing inside my head Ringing inside my head I was walking the line, I was doing just fine, just fine Choirs of old won’t stop singing Singing songs in my head It has to end just like death, And then a new beginning Inside my head o-oh inside my head I was walking the line, I was doing just fine Had to make a turn, turn For my heart to burn, burn just fine, No more walking the line I was meant to be only yours You were meant to be mine Mother cried sweet little baby stay You’ll end up in a nameless tomb I said mother don’t you weep no I got to make it on my own and see it through ‘till Ha-llelu My own hallelujah Life was easy, One of the black and white kind But one tender kiss from you And a million colours blew my mind One big bang I was walking the line, I was doing just fine Had to make a turn, turn For my heart to burn, Burn just fine, no more walking the line, line Burn, burn, burn just fine, no more walking the line I was meant to be only yours You were meant to be mine

City of Catharines I watch her stripping I watch her grow cold Cracks run through her skin And much deeper i’m told Much deeper i’m told My hands touch a body But the body’s still cold Her eyes stare right through me In silent revolt In silent revolt God wove a garment for her The most colourfull dress for her Slowly slowly That’s the way the leaves grow over the city Slowly slowly That’s the way grace still runs right through the city Do you hear the birds like i do Do you hear the birds like i do Calling her home A garment lies waiting The most colourfull dress But the city is stripping The city is cold The city is crumbling Makes me feel old Makes me feel old

I tried to go back to the start To catch the very first beatings of the heart I tried to find the origin of seed Beautiful flowers and ugly weed Who’s been sowing, who was not What you needed, what you got It came to me in my sleep There’s a garden keeper and all are beloved Up came the morning light There’s a garden keeper and it is rising up Where no water ever dropped No one can keep it down or make it stop I took a shovel to the ground And I dug deep, so deep To find all things that could be found I dug deep, and deeper still I am tending precious seed The earth groans, together we bleed It came to me in my sleep There’s a garden keeper and all are beloved Up came the morning light There’s a garden keeper and it is rising up Where no water ever dropped No one can keep it down or make it stop It is rising, rising up Despite the half truths and plain lies spoken It came to me in my sleep There’s a garden keeper and I am beloved
