Thunder Bay (Live) Lyrics

Years feel like weeks, days feel like months

I tried to glean fresh air from my lungs

Try though they might, they cannot conjure oxygen

Out of nothing

I haven't breathed freely since you left

Sweetened by the sun, the air there was so fresh

I could learn to tame the fire beneath the rain

If you'd be there with me in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

It takes so much time to find my way back home

Would they greet me now or say I'm not someone they've known

I cannot choose my birthplace but maybe where I'm from

And who I become

So much has changed, the sun has come and gone

I'm picking up the weight I said I'd carry all along

It feels twice as heavy as when I put it down

Now I'll carry it myself in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Last time I saw you, we packed up your car

It was all that I could do to let you go

Without fire the grassland drowns beneath the rain

And droughts and burns and learns to hate the sun

Some day I'll accept someone else lives there

In that little house down on the country road

I know that it's over but I would give my lungs

If I could go back home to Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay

Without fire the grassland drowns beneath the rain
