lyrics

My father dropped me off
In the grocery parking lot
With a toonie & a five spot
To get myself some lunch
I bought a hockey card instead
A Gilmour '96
To show off to my friends

A memory on my mind
& it won't let me sleep
It was early in the morning time
Like it always seemed to be
I took a bottle to the park
& somewhere out there in that dark
The train whistle blew
& I saw you going free

Stale summer heat
Empty downtown street
Where the people ought to be
But people ought to be a lot of things
So I stomp this wasted land
Kicking at that great ol' can
Glory Tottenham

A memory on my mind
& it won't let me sleep
It was early in the morning time
Like it always seemed to be
I took a bottle to the park
& somewhere out there in that dark
The train whistle blew
& I saw you going free

Now I'm stuck on downtown time
Living by the page
& the place I knew as freedom
Has put me in its cage
I'll let remembrance be kind
So I can stay steady on the line
Nothing screams salvation like a little white lie
