exodus

two rocks

It’s been a long time
That doesn’t matter
Nothing has changed

This is our test, this how we stay sain
We don’t need to talk while we’re apart
When we’re together, it’s like yesterday, even when yesterday is far away

You’re the same, I’m the same, see?
Nothing has changed
At least this stays the same

I’m a rock and you’re a rock
We’re two rocks and we don’t change
Everything else is different
Nothing stays
I can’t stay, you can’t stay
It’s ok, we’re the same

Let’s not talk and stay the same?
Yes, let’s not talk and stay the same.

I like not talking and staying the same
You’re my rock, my bedrock, my solid ground

I’m built on you just far away
Stay the same, please stay the same, everything changes, please stay the same
If you go I might fall down, don’t crumble away please stay strong

I know you won’t change
Your solid ground, I’m a rock and you’re a rock

A small rock and you were a small rock
Two small rocks now older rocks
Not old rocks yet but someday

Someday I’ll go away or you’ll go away
It’s ok, let’s not talk but stay the same
When you’re gone and I am gone
We’ll be the same, gone away

I’ll stay the same because you stayed the same
When there’s nothing left and we can’t talk
I’ll be the same and you’ll be the same
Nothing different, it’s all the same

I’m the same and you’re the same

Westbound

This ones about traveling
This ones about home
Westbound for work
Retreating East alone

Followed the dream
The oil patch is dry
Well, there’s oil left but the cost is too high

Going back home now
Try something new, something old, something blue
Nothing to lose, the years are all gone
Made all my money and spent every dime
Maybe try trucking or carpentry now
My dad was a farmer and my mother a nurse
I’m thinking I’ll call Pat to drive his hearse

The dead must pay one last time
We’re all gonna face it, you and I
Not worth the worry, neither the sweat
I’m tired of the running, I’m tired of the work
The ocean looks nice, I might try Caraquet
Old house by the ocean depends on what I can get
Lay the traps down, might try fishing next

Who am I kidding, that all sounds nice
Way above the asking price
Take a warm shower, drink down a beer
Light up a joint to clear the air
I’m all good now, don’t need to fret
I heard they’re hiring up north
Can’t go back yet
