Lyrics
The Weapon and the Wound
Copyright © by Ali Matthews (SOCAN) 2003
Tragedy and paradise
Lie within inches from my soul
Even if they take away my very breath
I could never let you go
And I don?t suppose I?ll come back to my senses very soon
Because I am both the weapon and the wound
I could go a long long way
On just one word
Baby anything you say
Makes me fly like a bird
See me fly like a bird
Then I?ll stretch it on out
This little sweet memory
Make it fill a great big Alberta sky
Guard it with a vengeance around me
Make-believe that love has found me
And just swallow down my pride
I?ll swallow down my pride
And I don?t suppose I?ll come back to my senses very soon
Because I am both the weapon and the wound
