Northern Wish
Wake up, raise the curtainsFrom your deep provincial eyes.Speak up, for I am certainThat it's no disguise.'Cause soldiers stopping trafficCouldn't keep these wheels at bay;Their guns smoked, then the sun broke,And we hauled away.And mothers of the country take two flags and make a sail.We'll sail the big dominion.This song is falling...And did you get my messageOn the People's Radio?I wrote it in AlbertaAcross the prairie spine.And I'd rather jump the bordersThat trail from east to westAnd get the booking agentTo find another band.I built my rocket in a shed.I'm going to launch it at the sun.I'm going to launch it from my pad.Oh, could I get this?Letras de cancionesIt's my northern wish.Meanwhile in the forestIn a parliament of trees,The ink will crack and dry all up,But the compass will swing anyways.And we don't need mathematicsAnd we don't need submarinesTo tell how far that the land does go...Till it hits the shore.Wake up, raise the curtainsFrom your deep provincial eyes.Speak out, for I am certainThis song is over.(Land ho!)
