Lyrics

STETTLER II

I believe I’ll ride to Stettler and rest beside your grave
Lay my head by your epitaph, the one your husband had made

Through that long drive from Saskatchewan as you lay in state
I lay on my bedroom floor making plans for being brave

Now I live in Vancouver in an upstairs built for two
On Sundays I play the Dynamo not far from the high school

And I watch the seven herons blue cross the causeway in a line
With 45 minutes ‘til the ferry leaves it seems I have the time

To play Abide With Me, on the jagged rocks
that break the waters crawl
Maybe collect a pebble or two, or driftwood for the wall

There’s nothing about this song to make it work for you
Except for the fact we keep our memories intact
when we put ‘em to a tune

‘Cause all of us we stiffen up when the life in us is gone
But the music that escapes our lips, keeps a travelin’ on
