Ontario - A song written in a train while leaving Nova Soctia bound for Montreal. In a time when moving and choosing a path was imminent and I had no one to turn to except God himself.

lyrics

I heard the wind today
tellin me to go
I felt the train depart
to take me from a coast
i watched my city sleep
like a restless soul with nowhere else to go.

Sorrows go on for years
like the tears in widows eyes
lessons all stay the same
while the days give in to nights
I watched the oceans rise
and asked myself "how can i leave this town"?

CHORUS

i can feel those winds blow,
so many roads
in ontario
Gotta breathe in real slow
where will I go,
God only knows
so far, so low
God only knows

Its crowding the empty streets
and every champage glass
I lingering voice that speaks
Lest I repeat the past
Im lookin at empty streets
and wonder If ill make it out this time

i want you closer now
in the messages i send
but im watching our candles burn
depleting at the ends
n' I'm lookin at everyone
tellin me no better time to run

CHORUS

If I go
there is one thing you should know
this land is not my home
im leaving for my coast

Hard to pick a favourite this is my favourite work by Noah Gundersen. If I was forced to choose two it would probably be a toss up between Middle of June & Oh death. The whole EP is excellent though. Gazing@Orion
