lyrics

O wide-eyed lake
Whispering oaks
What do you have in store for me?
Cabin in the woods on fire
I save the furniture
I leave your sister burning
She didn't want to be put out

She asked to be ashes
They blew out across the shield
Across the glaciers in your heart
She asked to be ashes
Her golden hair singed
Her cheeks sunken in

She looked out the window
Stared into the leaves
Into the eyes of the pines
Asked "What do you have in store for me?"
She drank mouthfuls of matches

The house dark grey with billowing clouds
And I grabbed the painting your mother made
And I grabbed the bench your father carved
And I grabbed the quilt your grandmother sewed
And I ran as far as I could go
Back to Toronto

And she asked to be ashes
