Deep Bay Road

It was as far as I was allowed to go
The big rocks down by the deep bay road
You’d be driving from Montreal
In your big white company car
I was so excited had to get as close as i could
So I walked out into the edge of my world

With every year the world got a little larger
Past the dam, past the fire tower
And there I’d be just waiting for you
Lying in the cool green moss
And my ears were pinned
Listening to the sound of the leaves and the wind
And the buzz of electricity and time

Howling high up on thе power lines
And somewhеre way out there
A distant sound to behold
Of your wheels coming down the road

I don’t remember when all this came to pass
Back when I thought all things would last
Now it’s your hands I remember best
Folded gently upon your chest

Your old rosary around your neck
Oh dear Mary pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
