An Evening Hymn

Winnipeg I'm sorry

For wearing your heart on my sleeve

In the morning I'll be going

These arms won't tire from rowing

And the drums won't let me sleep

I sneak out in the morning

And I watch you while you sleep

You lie there like a stranger

With the secrets that you keep

When you're caught up in the rain

And it's coming down in sheets

It really keeps a boy awake

Yeah it keeps a boy awake

All my clouds have a silver lining

From which I'll melt the metal down

For paddles for my heart to keep it beating

And if they keep repeating

Then the two of us could dance all through the night

And get caught up in the rain

When it's coming down in sheets

It really keeps a boy awake

Yeah it keeps a boy awake

What's the point in living

If you can't get what you want

I'm too tired for conversation

Come home dear, I feel lost

Caught up in the rain

And it's coming down in sheets

It really keeps a boy awake

Yeah it keeps a boy awake
