lyrics

My kingdom for a garden to foster new relief
On the backdrop of romantic years that go at their own speed.
It's not a perfect surface; the fruit rolls from the shelf
And I'm of no mind to fix it with hands that are no help.

I'm thinking of chopping wood
Like a man of condition,
Like a man of the elements,
Like a man of conviction.

My kingdom for some context, for deliberate unease,
To clear a dirty conscience. It takes a rotten seed
To be a good Canadian.

Like a man of provision,
Like a man of the colony,
Like a man of revision.

As the sun sets on my time at the lectern
And I brace myself to learn how to listen,
There's little hope I'll grow into someone
Worth keeping around.

Thinking of chopping wood.
