Greg MacPherson - Churchill lyrics

It wasn't so cold yesterday
I walked along the river path down where
The water starts spinning like car tires
I wore the sweater my father wore
The one he got from his girlfriend before he
Quit his job and met my mother
There's a train that runs from
Here to Churchill MB
I never knew that Churchill was so far away
There's a woman on the
Bridge from my street
I just nod my head
I don't think I remember her name
There's a whistle that blows everyday at 4

I met my brother yesterday outside the
Place we went to school and
He said he thought I should
Be running out of patience
We walked for hours until it snowed
Out past the cemetary gates where you can
Stand and watch the plains taking off
There's a face that looks
Exactly like yours does
"It's all I've got" he said
"it's really not that bad"
There's a reason why I'm
Here I can't remember
The past few years have been the
Shortest years I've ever had
There's a whistle that blows everyday at 4
The sound of train cars loud as the crying
From the house I live next door to
