Come Back Joni

2. COME BACK JONI (6:29)

I dreamt I saw our Joni, staring out to sea
Singing for the roses, dragging eternity
It was late September, no relief in sight
With rainforest burning, it’s a fight or flight

O Joni, come on back to me, O Joni, it’s a drag in eternity

From Caribou to Squamish, Malahat to Salmon Arm
Prince George to Elk River, this is no false alarm
A crack and a flash of anger, and the wilderness ignites
Dante’s inferno, with a pipeline in its sights

O Joni, come on back to me, O Joni, it’s a drag in eternity

In the morning there are ashes, scars upon the hill
Tankers rocking gently, in the acid from the mill
And I dreamt I saw our Joni, riding out to sea
On the very last Orca, dragging eternity

O Joni, come on back to me, O Joni, it’s a drag in eternity

It’s a drag in eternity
