lyrics

If a dream is slowly dying
And you can’t find a way
When it hurts too much to admit it
So you carry the weight
If the road that you’re travelling
Has turned into a maze
And it feels like you’re running
Just to stay in one place

I know I could have called you
But what would I say
You were never good at talking
I talk too much anyways
To hear you on the line
Just one last time
To hear you talk bout the weather
And how everything’s fine

It’s a crying shame
When you don’t know how to say it
So you say nothing
It’s a crying shame
When you’re holding on so tightly
To what’s bringing you pain

Tried to keep on moving
Thought I knew the way
I couldn’t wait for forever
I rushed through the days
Now I’m holding on to pictures
Of your perfect face
I’m keeping it together but I’m not ok

Comforting anger, self righteous in rage
I took the poison, I laid the blame
At night alone, in my bed when I wake
I think of the ways, I’ve chased love away

It’s a crying shame
When you’ve hurt somebody
And you feel no pain
It’s a crying shame,
If you had a hand to hold
But you let it wait
It’s a cry, crying shame
When you’re too afraid of changing
So you stay the same

Looking back, it all seems clear
What I let go, what I held dear
When it appears in times trick mirror

It’s a crying shame
That you can never go back
But you still can change

All Of It Was Mine
by The Weather Station

I first heard Tamara on a cold & rainy night in Toronto a few years ago, in a tiny room packed with 20 people rapt in reverent silence. Her music has been warming me from the inside ever since. Zaac Pick

The Bearer of Bad News
by Andy Shauf

You'll be in suspense from the first haunting piano line, to the climax of 'Dear Helen', as Andy's gripping tales examine the dark corners of small-town life. I like to call it 'Prairie Noir'. Zaac Pick
