lyrics

I went through a town lost far into the woods
I went through a town that called itself the capital of moose
It was my hometown
It was my home, hometown

Made a castle in the snow
On the first of July two years in a row
Two years straight at the parade
Had my hands in my pockets and a dollar for candy
It was my hometown
It was my home

I see a tower up ahead
And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend
I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah
Who's your father? And what does he do?
Turns out he's the cousin of the neighbor
Who lived out by the little lagoon

Only time I didn't make it home
Was on Highway 11 in the middle of snowstorm
Only time I didn't make it home
I was stuck in New Liskeard in a blizzard on a side road
We were homebound
We were home

I see a tower up ahead
And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend
I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah
Who's your mother? And what does she do?
Turns out she's the daughter of a guitar-maker
Who lives in Waterloo

Their songs are sometimes full of dreams and longing, sometimes filled with unapologetic restlessness. In both cases, they leave an impression, whether you’re a blooming teenager or a wild-haired grandparent. ... more
