The Flood 04:21
Don’t you know about the flood that came through? He climbed through your window, as he tried to seduce you With a fistful of sunsets, ‘cross his watery heart You’ll never be thirsty, but from land you must part What’s wrong with drowning with his love? He is the ocean, and you are a dove? Where the waves take you farther And love looks distant under water Don’t you know about the cloud that came through? He slept on your shoulder, as he tried to seduce you With a fistful of sunsets, ‘cross his feathery heart You’ll never be sleepy, but from dreams you must part Salt from his tears will season your sorrow As you wait for the sun to bring you back to shore Chorus Yes I know, ‘bout the storm that came through Cause he stole all my kisses, but I said “I ain’t gonna catch cold for you” This love is not wrong, but I’m just too tired to swim When I’m ready for love, I’ll keep my eyes on the wind Yes, when I’m ready for love, I’ll keep my eyes on the wind Chorus

I hear the snow is fallin’ in Alberta I was born here, but I wandered far Like a bear in an open field; I was lonely, and I Longed to be healed My feet carried me like a dangerous beast I learned to care for my own disease, Not knowing where I wanted to live Not knowing who I wanted to be Those cold, blue skies under which I will die Have made me a child again, Back where it all began In Alberta Where wheat is buried deep under snow, Coyotes call and tease the dogs My new life is covered in frost, In Alberta My infant eyes Open wide as the river winds Wisdom flows as the seasons find Me naked and yielding A new seedling, aching to be found (chorus) Oh Alberta, make me a woman Who cares for the cold Oh Alberta, make me a woman Who comes alive again where she was born In Alberta

Open Water 04:59
Sleepwalker Ice is breaking under Dark shape rising One finger in heaven Who do we honour? With our open water? Who do we honour? With our sons and our daughters? The beast is sleepin’ Eyes not closed Not even dreamin’ No chains surround him Oh yet, he is frozen. Who do we honour? With our fear of each other? Who do we honour? If we continue to slumber? Get up, my love It’s time to rise and it’s time to cry Get up, my love Have you forgotten what it’s like? What it’s like to be alive? Our sisters are missing Votes don’t count Fish aren’t swimmin’ Where did the tall, forest go? Why did our country feed us to the wolves? Who do we honour? If we all stand together? Who do we honour? If we take hold of our future? With glowing hearts we rise With glowing hearts we die chorus
