lyrics

Well you remember the 70s much better than I
You were alive then, for one thing
It was the end of that decade when I arrived
And you were here in Michigan
I crossed the border this morning with no trouble at all
Picked up a car at the airport
She said “well isn’t Canada part of America now?”
And was surprised when I told her no

I am lost in the city but don’t take pity on me
I am lost in the city but don’t take pity

For every colour of Autumn and every leaf that’s got ‘em
There’s a weight that falls away
Yes there’s an inkling of freedom and an offering of reprieve
In the woods here of Michigan
Every mile of the highway puts a mile behind me
A mile between me and the pain
Were that true I would drive until the land turned to the water of Lake Superior

I am lost in the city but don’t take pity on me. I am lost in the city but don’t take pity

When I drove through Saginaw I sang “well we’ve all come to look for America”
Though I’ll be in that house on the hill, trying to distill cadence and colloquy
Where the rain and I will get acquainted both laughing and naked

Well you remember the 70s much better than I
You were alive then, for one thing
It was the end of that decade when I arrived
And you were here in Michigan

I am lost in the city but don’t take pity on me
