Alberta Breeze Lyrics

all my city is dressed in skin
her lips are dark
her ankles thin
oh my dizzy ballerina, won't you give us a spin?
my country's cold in autumn's chains
every time I think of her it rains
when she breathes upon the morning
she shakes all the weather vanes

now I try to keep a steady hand
because I'm living in a shaky land
lord I try to be an honest man
but it's tougher than I ever planned
in the westbound air tonight are those centuries
my tongue-tied beheaded bride
the Alberta breeze Justin Rutledge - Alberta Breeze - http://motolyrics.com/justin-rutledge/alberta-breeze-lyrics.html

oh David drive like you've never done
oh Sarah sing like you've never sung
oh my dizzy ballerina spin like you've never spun
now I'm sending you a telegram
about my days in the caravan
with the steers and the bleating lambs
took the money and away I ran
I recall how the dress you wore rose above your knees
as the thrush flew from the mouth of the Alberta breeze

the summer's turned it's back on me with a sorrow-laden symmetry
with a highway kind of robbery
like my life was an apology
now I don't think about you all the time
only when the trees sway somehow slaughtered by the Alberta breeze
