Mattawa

(Album: In Our Nature - 2013)

Can't see this winter road
For the fog and snow
Slipping through Wahnapitae
Heading east on 17
The chimney stacks a few miles back
All lit up like rocket ships

So many words I should have said
Spent all night trying to forget the one I did
This road is a thorn, a river of regret
The wind howls like a ghost inside my head
I was so wrong, now there's no retuning

Two hundred miles 'til sunrise
Two hundred miles of this ice and snow
My, paint the dawn in Mattawa
I'll greet the dawn in Mattawa

There's a sadness in the morning, comes with the break of day
For the dawn is a thief, that steals your dreams away
I was so wrong, now there's no returning

Two hundred miles 'til sunrise
Two hundred miles of this ice and snow
My, paint the dawn in Mattawa
I'll greet the dawn in Mattawa
I'll greet the dawn in Mattawa
