lyrics

Winded out of the north
My bones creak
I can't settle down
These elements of seasons
they change me somehow
I tread upon this October ground
familiar as it is
It's the memory of family
scattered by differences
I am driven to my thoughts of war and terrorism
I can't harbour these feelings alone
but here I go
a candle in a window
a woman at her table
there are just too many images

Curiosity of a man
running wild in the street
Before the Leaves Fall
How many lives will it take?
Hope sways like trees in the wind
How hard is it to choose the dog catcher?
How hard is it to choose the next leader to...

From a clear fanatic to the proud father
Questions arise that confound us
How can we love one another
with our finger on the trigger?
How can we be so naïve?
...When this matters

Curiosity of a man
running wild with his greed
Too many questions on a ballot
Hope sways like trees in the wind
How hard is it to choose the dog catcher?
How hard is it to choose the next leader?

Too much, too little, too late!
We're going to have to wait another four more years
After all...

To realize what we've done is wrong
Can't say we're sorry for what we have done
And the headlines could have read
"Stupendous Victory", again
How can we let this happen a second time
I don't know
Just take your Canadian medicine
