Walking In A Straight Line Lyrics by Beth Carvalho in Prairieography Album.
Walking In A Straight Line Lyric
Just before dark, the trees turn to silhouettes
The world gets too pretty for my petty regrets
There’s a trace of red left in the sky tonight
The water in the fields is turning to wine
The rivers are flowing, the city can’t sleep
The water’s rising like a secret you can’t keep
Every year it’s the same strange feeling
I’ve always had a hard time
Walking in a straight line
Three highlights on a CN freight
Cut down the darkness, paint the way
I’m west bound chasing my own tail again
The snow has disappeared just past the Qu’Appelle
I’ll be rolling into Jasper before too long now
I’ve been stolen by Alberta so many times I’ve lost count
I’ve always had a hard time
Walking in a straight line
I’ve always had a hard time
Walking in a straight line
The highways are twisted but they give me a life
I’m grateful for it but I know there is a price
I’d just like to find out someday soon how much I owe
My cast iron fingers are holding their pose
Doubt is a disease that can turn young men old
She used to haunt me, now I just make her my friend
I’ve always had a hard time
Walking in a straight line
I’ve always had a hard time
Walking in a straight line
