Down At The Khyber

I've been away and I've been travelin'

I've been lost, I've fucked around

And like a heavy run rounder (?)

Through open fields and prairie towns

I got sick, and I got sicker

And I spent a month in bed

Until the visions came to me quicker

I saw ghosts and I saw land

I saw ghosts and I saw land

Chorus:

Am I still alive where did I collapse?

In Edmonton Alberta or home in Halifax

Float me down the river to the Musquedobit harbor

Because I'm getting nowhere

I met my love down at the Khyber

And we drifted throughout the crowd

And when I finally lay beside her

Oh you could hear my heart out loud

And when I'm gone she'll never leave me

No no she'll never be untrue

But if you do not believe me

You don't believe the sky is blue

You don't believe the sky is blue

Chorus

And if it feels just like a toss off

Perhaps it is perhaps it ain't

Do you remember at the sock hop?

Did I dance or did I faint (4x)
