How do you go through life this way?
Like every day is a holiday
Like tomorrow will never come
Your back could never burn in the sun
Summertime puts a beer in your hand
Isn’t life grand?
How do you go through life like this?
Beautiful words won’t mend the rift
See how far you can make me bend
And it happens again and again and again
Summertime puts a beer in your hand
Isn’t life grand?
How did you get this far in life?
Hacking through with a butterknife
Pick through your plate and take the best
And let someone else clean up the mess

Columbia Icefield

I will live here
facing the icefield
I will write a song every day
I will warn friends driving from Jasper
Keep an eye on the road
I will stroke the soft green grass with the back of my hand
I will greet the first daylight as it touches the land
I will crouch down, ear to the river
Hear what she has to say
I will peer into the dark forest
Searching for other eyes
I will stroke the soft green grass with the back of my hand
And I will greet the first daylight as it touches the land
I will live here
And plant a big garden
Learn to shoot and skin a deer
I will be done with all of my service
All my children dispersed
I will stroke the soft green grass with the back of my hand
And I will greet the first daylight as it touches the land
I will nod to the icefield when I open my door
And I will die an old woman in the mountain air

Venus

Venus moved across the sun last June
Venus moved across the sun last June
A speck on my mother’s back
A speck on my mother’s sealskin back
I asked for the truth, she told it bare
I asked for the truth, she told it bare
He was a boilermaker with long blonde hair
Did you know, did you know you’d keep me?
Did you know, did you know you’d keep me?
Working jobs in small towns
Thought you’d travel the world ‘round
But you knew, you knew you’d keep me
I watched the yellow moon rise
I watched the yellow moon rise
‘Till I realized the tide had come up past my ankles
Clayoquot Sound, hold me by my ankles
Venus moved across the sun last June
Venus moved across the sun last June
A speck on my mother’s back
A speck on my mother’s sealskin back

Never Give Back

Why do you love me, why do you treat me like one of your own?
Why do you feed me, why do you clothe me and give me a home?
You give and you give and you give
And I take and I take and I take
And I never give back
I asked your daughter “What can I do for your mother?”
She said you want for nothing, I don’t need to worry
You give and you give and you give
And I take and I take and I take
And I never give back
Why do you listen to my stupid problems?
How do you make me feel so safe and warm?
You have such an open mind and sense of humour
I hope to find with mine
I’ve been coming ‘round here since I was twelve
Tagging along, bumming rides and helping myself
Now fifteen years later I’m still hanging around
Raiding the fridge
You give and you give and you give
And I take and I take and I take
And I never give back
Why do you love me
Why do you treat me like one of your own?
Why do you feed me
Pay for the movie and drive me home?
You give and you give and you give
And I take and I take and I take
And I take and I take and I take
I take and I take and I take

Northern Ontario

Coming through a Northern Ontario town
Coming through the barrel with the stag on the ground
Coming through Algonquin, canoe by first light
Coming through a collarbone fractured on the ice
Coming home to find a punishment
Never aware what you’d done
Lacking the love of a woman
Never admitting the way that it made you feel
Coming through a chemistry college degree
Coming through the warehouse into the city
Coming through a truck-driving job pays your loans
Coming to a church basement songwriter show
Coming to live on the lakeshore
Sleeping with fish on your mind
But you think of your father and sister
How could you go ahead knowing how they would feel
Somebody heard you at the open mic
Invited you into their life
You got on a plane for your first time
First time to swim in the ocean
First time to see Central Park
First time to lay with a woman
First time to tell anyone how you really feel

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
