Halifax

Halifax (Andrea England)

You’re still easy on the eyes
You haven’t changed in all this time
I can’t complain, I do just fine
If I said better than that I might be lying
Is your parent's house still painted red
Like every hurtful word I can’t believe I said
But one day you’d rain and the next you’d shine
And I never could make up your mind
I don’t think of you I don’t keep track
I burned up all your pictures so I can’t look back
Some ships are better left to pass
Maybe that’s the reason I keep leaving
Halifax
The tide goes out and the truth comes in
One look at you and I’m treading water once again
Riding a wave about to break
Is like being born to love and born to leave this place
I don’t think of you I don’t keep track
I burned up all your pictures so I can’t look back
Some ships are better left to pass
Maybe that’s the reason I keep leaving
Halifax
Sometimes I dream of hurricanes
And midnight kisses up on Grand Parade
When I wake up in the dark
I don't know if I’m shipwrecked or lying in your arms
I don’t think of you I don’t keep track
I burned up all your pictures so I can’t look back
Some ships are better left to pass
Maybe that’s the reason I keep leaving
I don’t think of you I don’t keep track
I burned up all your pictures so I can’t look back
Some ships are better left to pass
And maybe that’s the reason I keep leaving
Halifax
Halifax
Halifax
And maybe that’s the reason I keep comin' back
