about

A sad song about life and love, inspired by the Northern Ontario landscape.

lyrics

North Ontario, dead-end road

Just me and the wind and the songs we wrote

Got a bit of land I can call my own

I can build a little fire when the sun goes down

There’s a friendly cafe out on seventh line

Where if I need a little comfort I can pass some time

Tell my mamma that I’m happy here all alone

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go

I can tell time is taking its toll

See the lines in my face feel it creak in my bones

I can swing my own hammer, I can chop my own wood

But I couldn’t make you love me like I thought I could

North Ontario, Lake of Bays

Seems like a good place to pass my days

Tell my daddy that I’m happy here all alone

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go

I’m as still as the old White Oak

You were the river and you warned me so

While I pretend I’m out here living off the land

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go

North Ontario, dead-end road

Just me and the wind and the songs we wrote

Tell my mamma that I’m happy here all alone

Truth is I’m still working on letting you go
