So Long, Saskatchewan

lyrics

I lost my footing somewhere in between
the point of waking and starlit dreams.
And though I loved it, I quickly came to find
that I should not have left you behind.
There was beauty in the mountains and the sand,
but I could not forget my home and native land.
And of all the places that I could have been,
it was you that I couldn't wait to see

Oh, what a life
to live with such sacrifice.
Oh, what a shame
if I never see you again.

I caught the overnight train
and if I never see you again
I suppose it wouldn't be too soon,
'cause I feel I've got nothing to lose

Oh, what a life
to live with such sacrifice.
Oh, what a shame
if I never see you again.

to all my friends I met along the way,
for you, this song I play.
To the bridge we would walk
with cigarettes and sunglasses on.
And then, you turned to me and said
"you need to be a stronger man."
Well I'll make no promises,
but I'll do the best that I can.

Oh, what a life
to live with such sacrifice.
Oh, what a shame
if I never see you again.
