Streets of My Town

Well they say home is where the heart is But I lost my heart so long ago Got buried 'neath the vast expanse Of hundred wattage snow And winter turned to spring But then how mud encompassed everything So I resigned to bide my time And left my heart below So I bought myself a compass Placed it where my own heart ought to be And since all compasses point north I guess the Great White North is home to me Levees may break The earth may quake And buildings will fall down And craters may appear in every street of my town Brittle as bones They stand exposed These trees on hollow ground If they can plant their roots I guess that I can too On these streets of my town Well no man is a nomad For his whole life it seems to me Feet get tired and soles wear thin When wandering for eternity And fate can be a fickle thing When you don't believe in anything But somehow I wound up Back where the streets are paved with memories So I bought myself a pocket watch Just to hear that ticking sound And I felt the wind pick up outside As I watched the hours count down Levees may break The earth may quake And buildings will fall down And craters may appear in every street of my town Brittle as bones They stand exposed These trees on hollow ground If they can plant their roots I guess that I can too On these streets of my town And I don't know if I'll stay this time If it's different than before But these streets will keep my heart safe 'Til I find the home I'm looking for Levees may break The earth may quake And buildings will fall down And craters may appear in every street of my town Brittle as bones They stand exposed These trees on hollow ground If they can plant their roots I guess that I can too On these streets of my town If they can plant their roots I guess that I can too On these streets of my town
