[00:00.52]St Lawrence River - David Usher

[00:15.18]Smells on the air

[00:16.86]See there it's crushing the final impression

[00:20.46]The stains on the paper

[00:21.98]Where words fell like water

[00:24.02]Unearth all the changes that never did matter

[00:27.56]I think it's beginning to freeze here

[00:37.04]Caught in the rage and the fire of things

[00:40.03]All the brightness that burns me

[00:42.37]I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark

[00:45.48]When the nakedness comes

[00:47.32]I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin

[00:52.90]Comes alive

[00:54.45]And I never thought we'd make it back so soon

[00:59.98]Might be nice

[01:01.58]But I knew you'd be your own destroyer

[01:07.28]Comes a time

[01:09.09]And I always thought I'd make it up to you

[01:28.09]Here please forgive me

[01:29.67]Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness

[01:34.03]Held in the face of the things that I don't understand

[01:38.29]Intellectualize over and over

[01:41.96]This helplessness suits us

[01:44.22]Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners

[01:47.82]Worn all our edges away

[01:50.15]You are watching breathing and baiting

[01:53.17]Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting

[01:56.58]For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience

[02:00.24]Uncover redemption and oh did I mention

[02:04.01]I carried you down to the St Lawrence River

[02:07.76]The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here

[02:14.22]Solid by morning

[02:18.27]And I'll freeze here

[02:21.51]Winter by morning

[02:27.37]Comes a lie

[02:29.05]And I never thought you'd get me back so soon

[02:34.44]Might be nice

[02:36.34]But it's only if my own destroyer

[02:41.85]Comes alive

[02:43.63]And I always knew I'd make it up to you

[03:02.45]I saw on your face such a curious grin

[03:05.51]As I let go your hand

[03:07.51]I was desperate to hold you again

[03:09.89]But you're sinking so deep in the water

[03:13.16]Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted

[03:19.52]Solid by morning

[03:23.72]What I wanted

[03:26.67]Winter by morning

[03:32.77]Comes alive

[03:34.57]And I never thought you'd make it up so soon

[03:40.05]Night be nice

[03:41.88]But I always knew you're my destroyer

[04:00.05]And I'll freeze here

[04:03.08]Winter by morning
