Dodge Line Blues
1. I won't bother going down the Dodge Line anymore The songbirds have all gone and I won't see you at the store I look at the rental moving van sign glinting in the sun Since you drove that cube van away, I don't have anyone 2. All along the highway I see tiger lilies grow They only need the rain, and they can bend when breezes blow The clover on the grass smells like the summer lingers near I wish I was just like the daisy, happy blooming here 3. I'm walking down the Sweaburg Road as shadows stretch ahead A mourning dove is calling and it echoes in my head Its plaintive cry is asking for a better half to love I know the pain when only silence echoes from above 4. Breezes turn to bluster as I venture farther on Soon the rain is falling, I don't want to carry on Then suddenly a rainbow breaks across the clearing sky The sun feels so much warmer now that I have tears to dry 5. I won't just forget you, leave your memory behind This gentle rain of tears can soothe the darkest of my mind I have to let you go but I will keep my heart alive It's empty now, the more to fill it with who will arrive 6. I won't bother going down the Dodge Line anymore The songbirds have all gone and I won't see you at the store I look at the rental moving van sign glinting in the sun I'm driving that cube van away, a new life has begun | ||

This one below is about outsourcing, train routes cutbacks and the loss of well-paying jobs.

Goodbye, Toronto - This one is about, well, leaving Toronto...

Favourite songs that are out of print - Tamarack. Can't buy them now for love or money. This is a bad tape-to-MP3 conversion but it gives you an idea.
