I've been away and I've been travelin' I've been lost, I've fucked around And like a heavy run rounder (?) Through open fields and prairie towns I got sick, and I got sicker And I spent a month in bed Until the visions came to me quicker I saw ghosts and I saw land I saw ghosts and I saw land Chorus: Am I still alive where did I collapse? In Edmonton Alberta or home in Halifax Float me down the river to the Musquedobit harbor Because I'm getting nowhere I met my love down at the Khyber And we drifted throughout the crowd And when I finally lay beside her Oh you could hear my heart out loud And when I'm gone she'll never leave me No no she'll never be untrue But if you do not believe me You don't believe the sky is blue You don't believe the sky is blue Chorus And if it feels just like a toss off Perhaps it is perhaps it ain't Do you remember at the sock hop? Did I dance or did I faint (4x)
