| Ode to Toronto
in spite of the hell I found there heaven's grace in spite of the one worst-case fear eyes and face haunt me when I sleep when I dream when I wake out of place out of time point of break and just like the late show I passed that point long ago along with Jackson Browne and Harry Chapin Croche, Stevens, John, Joel, and the telling if roadkill could feel it would be too real I just wanted you to know of a precious place Toronto oh Toronto, such a dream you were froze me out one bitter December oh Toronto, I remember her and the kids, all we did never ends oh Toronto, holding my best friends and worst enemies taught me of the birds and the bees and cruelties oh Toronto, I dream I'm still there is it a nightmare? Toronto my dear Toronto I'm still here you're still there Toronto everywhere the soundtrack of a life plays in a broken loop somewhere in time far away kept away such a crime and just like the late show I passed that point long ago along with Sarah Mac and Tom Chapin Denver, fill in the blanks and the telling like the Hotel California desperado never left ya cant forget ya and wherever I go I just wanted you to know of a precious place Toronto I just wanted you to know I still love you Toronto b r e a t h e |
