Lyrics

Paint me over in my sleep
Thirty million shades of green
Dreaming on the train, push me north
To Ottawa

Wake up screaming. Smell of tea
There's no time left for flying
So you're still there tied to your home
I'll get there Tuesday and stay too long
I never told you I was leaving
And I was wrong

So lay them out on the tracks, and roll over my dreams
Send them back where they came from
Crush them paper-thin, like yesterday
I'll send you more when I find some
In Ottawa

So burn the crops and salt the fields
'Cause I'm not coming back
We burned our bridges a long time ago
Drowning in my thoughts I'm running from the sea
And I am the millstone around my own neck

So lay them out on the tracks, and roll over my dreams
Send them back where they came from
Crush them paper-thin, like yesterday
I'll send you more when I find some
I'll send you more when I find some
In Ottawa
