Ontario Songtext

von Jon Bryant

I heard the wind today
Telling me to go
I felt the train depart
To take me from the coast
I watched my city sleep
Like a restless soul with nowhere else to go.

Sorrows go on for years
Like the tears in widows eyes
Lessons all stay the same
While the days give in to nights
I watched the oceans rise
And asked myself "How can I leave this town?"

I can feel those winds blow,
So many roads
In Ontario
Gotta breathe in real slow
Where will I go,
God only knows
So far, so long
God only knows

It's crowding the empty streets
And every champage glass
A lingering voice that speaks
Lest I repeat the past
I'm lookin at empty streets
And wonder If I'll make it out this time

I want you closer now
In the messages I send
But I'm watching our candles burn
Depleting at the ends
I'm lookin at everyone
Tellin me no better time to run

If I go
There is one thing you should know
This land is not my home
I'm leaving for the coast
