Fragments of personal history mixed with invention. Reflections on youth in rural Ontario.

lyrics

You begged me to save you
For two weeks steady
If there was anything I could do, hell I would've done it already
But you're too far gone
You're gonna drag me in with you
And I can't love you in that foolish way I used to do.

Well this ain't school anymore
This ain't those disposable years
You asked me to come with you just to tell everybody that you ain't here
"I haven't seen him in days
I haven't seen him around
We don't talk anymore, he must have left town."

All those other women who go for this type of thing
Can't you ask one of them a favour, can't you give one of them a ring?
Would she just blow your cover? Is she incapable of deceit?
All those ne'er-do-well ladies can't keep your loose ends neat

I'm gonna stick you with the label
Do not resuscitate
Do not attempt to mend this man, for he has chosen his fate
Been there, done that
Bought the bobble-head doll
You can save one or two, can't you, but you can't save them all.

You begged me to save you
For two weeks steady
If there was anything I could do, hell I would've done it already

As Far Away As You Can Go Without Coming Back
by David Newberry

The first album I heard from David Newberry changed the way I think about listening to and writing music. I've been a huge fan ever since. Just the right blend of rage, politics and vulnerability. Bet Smith
