Tragically Hip - Cemetery Sideroad lyrics

rate me

I had a heart, but I used to be older

I'm not like I used to be

Had you, but I guess it's all over

You talk, but you're not like me.

You talk and you talk like some weird saint

What do you think that we could taint?

When you're nothing I am and I'm

something you ain't.

Hold me, until the night makes colder

Tell me, how life's made you bad

Kick me when I choke and I smolder

When I'm not what you had.

I'm looking for a cemetery sideroad

I'm screaming like a lighthouse lamp

I'm chasing after what I think that I'm owed

Like a French foreign legion tramp.

You swim in an ocean that's storming

You eat when the wolves all do

You ache like a mother in mourning

When you're left alone with you.
