lyrics

In the spring we halt in Edmonton.
In the fall we’re carried from home.
In the scalding heat we wet our feet.
In the cold a cotton storm.

In the prairie land we craft our nest.
In the ground we make it whole.
In the days and weeks that come and go.
In the months and years it’s home.

The more I give of what I’ve saved,
Me and mine take shape.
Indebted milestones, carving soapstones.
We refrain. We refrain.

In the end we’re drawn to Edmonton.
In the plane it hits me most.
In the sunrise glow off westward snow,
I start a lifelong road.

The more I give of what I’ve saved,
Me and mine take shape.
Indebted milestones, carving soapstones.
We refrain. We refrain.

The more I give of what I’ve saved,
Me and mine take shape.
Indebted milestones, carving soapstones.
We refrain. We refrain.
We refrain. We refrain.
