So we paired down for the night, we settled down into the snow
Towers retained in blinding light, we snuck out at the end of the show
People crowd Granville like stitches on wound, it's a parade of broken hearts
And all of the while I'm watching you, pushing your life in a shopping cart
I crave different way to cut through all this noise
Cuz the fields are real in my mind, so leave me the choice
To stay here or run away so far, you and me and Emily Carr
We drove around searching for clues, treasures burried in the earth
Around families of trees and grass, railway bones and highway serf
The weeds have pushed up through the tracks,
and calmed the place where the trains once rolled
And all at once natures' won what pioneers had sworn they'd owned
A southern flight of migrant birds clear the stage of all
Summer knows, and winters grows in every leaf that falls
It's a refugee role call, chances are it's for you and me and Emily Carr
