Ontario

Ontario is carrying me home
Right for the snow
All dark underneath, oh
See how the trees
Make excuses for me
And the baseball field
Will not yield
Till the winter sleep
And I’m mostly medicine now
Please, I wanna feel this around me
The 4 am sky keeps me alive
I’ll love the arrogant cold
I’m off balance but I feel my soul
Ontario
Old sparrow
I’m burying me here
Now I know
The winters for me, dear
Wood sided houses
Here reawaken my bones
And I see now
I’ve had a break in my soul
I’m mostly medicine these days
Swimming the sea of deep haze
Now I am free here in the tree
God bless benevolent cold
I’m off balance but I feel my soul
Ontario
