Country Kids know how to roam
In the open spaces by their homes
Along with birdsong Country Kids hum
In the woods when springtime comes
To Country Kids time moves so slow
In the summertime when the windows
Are always open wide because
The air conditioning is broken again
And stormy winter nights
Are spent alone far from the town lights
They’re miles and miles away
But Country Kids are not afraid
Country Kids know the rhythm of the land
The give and the take, the work-worn hands
Reading by sweet-corn stands
Finding romance beneath the willows

I know a place where the kids are dancing
Everybody's grooving, everybody's twisting
I know a place where the kids are dancing
Take me there today
Down to Georgian Bay
Throw your cares away
Je connais une place où les jeunes chantent
Toutes les voix unies, fredonnent une mélodie
Je connais une place où les jeunes chantent
Oooooo
Take me there today
Down to Georgian Bay
Throw your cares away
Je connais une place où les jeunes chantent
Toutes les voix unies, fredonnent une mélodie
Je connais une place où les jeunes chantent
I know a place where the kids are dancing
Everybody's grooving, everybody's twisting
I know a place where the kids are dancing

Les mots

Les mots et les dents et les lèvres et la langue
La voix, la chaleur, dans tes bras la noirceur
On vit et on meurt comme les vagues sur la mer
On crie et on crie mais y’a plus rien à faire
Oooooo
Ta main dans ma main, tes yeux dans les miens
Le vent et le froid quand tu n’es plus là
Je vis et je meurs pour chaque regard
J’appelle et j’appelle mais personne ne m’entend
Oooooo
Donne moi
Tout ce que t’as
Doucement
Je crie et je crie mais tu n’es plus là
Oooooo

Shake the Dust

I want to run but I can’t move
Caught here with nothing left to loose
Why can’t I row this boat away?
Frozen in place I can’t escape
Now I can’t shake this dust off of my feet anymore
But Lord above knows I’ve tried and tried
And I can’t shake these chains off of my hands anymore
But Lord above knows they are yours to hold now
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo
I used to run I used to flee
From all the ghosts and what they mean
Form north to south, from east to west
Until I found my solace
Now I can’t shake this dust off of my feet anymore
But Lord above knows I’ve tried and tried
And I can’t shake these chains off of my hands anymore
But Lord above knows they are yours to hold now
Oooo, Oooo
I can’t escape your love
I can’t escape your love
No I can’t escape your love
I can’t escape
No I can’t escape your love
No I can’t escape you love
I can’t escape your love
I can’t escape
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo

River

There's a river
And it runs out from my house
And it goes where it wants to
There's a love
This river that flows
And you can't tame it
It's holy
There's a hope
A humble hope
In the living water
Streaming ever onward
There's a river
And it goes where it wants to
So it runs freely from me and it goes over to you
It goes over to you
Et cette rivière
Qui commence dans ta maison
Elle passe par ma forêt
Elle passe par ma forêt
Les arbres
Sont ma famille
Si grands et si forts
Si grands et si forts
Et cette rivière
Qui commence dans ta maison
Elle vient me nourrir
Elle vient nous nourrir
Nos âmes sont la forêt
Cette rivière nous ravive
Elle nous donne la vie
Elle nous donne la vie
Oh the river that takes me
Takes me back to you
Oh the river that takes me homeward

Comme les trains qui passent sous le
Soleil d’hiver, chacun sur sa voie
Nous courons tous les deux parallèles
Et si distants, on évite les faits
Et là, là devant! Tempête dans la rue
On est si distants, que ferons nous?
Got nothing left to give
Stuck in the storm
Why didn’t I just get out
While the getting was good?
Tous les jours on se croise mais on
Ne se voit pas, prisonniers du froid
Deux locomotives perdues dans
L'œil du cyclone, entourées de blanc
Tu aimerais penser qu’il n’y a pas de froid
Mais je nous connais bien mieux que toi
The wind
Rattles my bones
Rattles my bones
Rattles my bones
Chills my soul
Dries me up
Got nothing left to give
Stuck in the storm
Why didn’t I just get out
While the getting was good?
The wind
Rattles my bones
Rattles my bones
Rattles my bones
Chills my soul
Dries me up
Got nothing left to give
Stuck in the storm
Why didn’t I just get out
While the getting was good?

Thinking of You

Ba ba’s
Wake up early sleep in my eyes
Never sleep enough the hours are shorter
And the sandman evades me, evades me
Wake up early sleep in my eyes
Never sleep enough the hours are shorter
And the sandman evades me, evades me
Thinking of you on my way to work
Thinking of you on the bus
Thinking of you on my way back home
Thinking of you
I’m just thinking of you
Listen to that song you like
Try to put up a fight
Working hard, making money
So I can go see you again
Listen to that song you like
Try to put up a fight
Working hard, making money
So I can go see you again
Thinking of you on my way to work
Thinking of you on the bus
Thinking of you on my way back home
Thinking of you
I’m just thinking of you
Thinking of you on my way to work
Thinking of you on the bus
Thinking of you on my way back home
Thinking of you
I’m just thinking of you
You are far again
I miss you again
Come back again
I want you back
Thinking of you on my way to work
Thinking of you on the bus
Missing your lips, how you make me feel
Sha-la-la-la, La-la-la, Laaaaa
I’m thinking, I’m thinking bout you baby
I’m thinking of you, yah,
I’m thinking, I’m thinking bout you
I’m just thinking of you
Ba ba’s

Quel désespoir Juliette
Pourquoi les larmes
Pourquoi les pleurs
Le regret
L’amour fut une épreuve
Chagrin, silence
Juliette, ton âme
Les peines, douleur
Insomnie
Les morts, les mourants
Une vie
Quel désespoir Juliette
Pourquoi les larmes
Pourquoi les pleurs
Le regret
