I ve been away and I ve been travelin
I ve been lost, I ve fucked around
And like a heavy run rounder (?)
Through open fields and prairie towns

I got sick, and I got sicker
And I spent a month in bed
Until the visions came to me quicker
I saw ghosts and I saw land
I saw ghosts and I saw land

Chorus:
Am I still alive where did I collapse?
In Edmonton Alberta or home in Halifax
Float me down the river to the Musquedobit harbor
Because I m getting nowhere

I met my love down at the Khyber
And we drifted throughout the crowd
And when I finally lay beside her
Oh you could hear my heart out loud
And when I m gone she ll never leave me
No no she ll never be untrue
But if you do not believe me
You don t believe the sky is blue
You don t believe the sky is blue

Chorus

And if it feels just like a toss off
Perhaps it is perhaps it ain t
Do you remember at the sock hop?
Did I dance or did I faint (4x)
