Dar Williams - O Canada girls

Tekst :

If I did not dream who would you be
And if you did not dream who would I be
Yes there is gold in this mountain
This they cannot mine
Tell me who they need it for
I ll tell you now, they need me more

O Canada girls
I have seen you in your sweaters
In the late night sun at Winnipeg
Growing up with friends and so unhurried
With your secrets I believe
Kept in the longer sleeve
Oh girls

Highways seen from hotel windows
Pumping highway blood
If I say they run from fear
Are things much different standing here

O Canada girls
When I saw the geese flying north
I remembered the friends of my vision
And a sense I had of other wings
Like faith, light threaded through a psalm
Like our boys fleeing Vietnam
Oh girls

If I drove up eighty-seven
Up past Montreal
Following the bluest veins
Following through icy rains
Would I emerge in the present
And know just where to begin
I m so sick of forgetting myself to remember who I am
And you say yeah, but why so cold, and so Canadian
I guess it s got to feel like some exodus
And if I succeed, well there will be more of us
And if I don t well I don t really know

Girls
Who have found our unsung nation
Where we left so much land to itself
That everyone had her own mountain

Well if you think of this girl and the dreams that made her
Write your secrets on hornet nest paper
And blow it high across the border

Cause if you did not dream, who would I be
And if I did not dream who would you be

  • The beauty of the rain
  • Wilder than her
  • Ireland
  • In love but not at peace
  • Better things
  • Play the greed
  • When i was a boy
  • Road buddy
  • Calling the moon
  • Alleluja
  • Family
  • I had no right
  • And a god descended
  • Are you out there
  • We learned the sea
  • Mortal city
  • Playing to the firmament
  • Spring street

    You and me of the 10 000 wars

    You and me of the 10,000 wars
    Dividing life into factions of pleasures and chores
    A bed to be made and a bed to lie in
    A hand in the darker side
    And our sights set on Zion
    The heart of a skeptic and the...

    Nie chcę nie umiem

    I
    Nie chcę , może nie umiem
    Chować się w tłumie
    W bezpieczny mrok

    Nie chcę , po prostu nie chcę
    Lubię powietrze
    Otwartych łąk

    II
    Wolna , czuję się wolna
    I niepokorna
    Lubiłabym

    Z ciszy ciasnej i gęstej
    Budzić się częściej
    Wolałabym
