lyrics

The city is in my blood and bone
Its pulse is mine forever
From a child lost in the coloured lights
To a grown up lost in its spell

I've felt safe between concrete walls
Towers of Babylon reaching
Blocking the sun, outlining the sky
A sky coloured in light

Yet Nesslin's nestled on the edge of my mind
Taking me back to Saskatchewan
And maybe a new home in the end, a new home in the end

When the shadows deserve a closer look
I see the sand and a cool moon rising
The stars reflecting, loons genuflecting and
Singing a mournful tune

And still Nesslin's nestled on the edge of my mind
Taking me back to Saskatchewan
And maybe a new home in the end, a new home in the end

I don't know what my hell will be, cause heaven comes so easily
On the cool northern breeze blowing through my mind
Through my troubled mind, through my troubled mind, oh through my worried mind

Now too often I find I have the time
As the story is slowly forgotten
And I try to pray while the memories fade
And my heart is facing west

When the slow fire burns and the warmth returns
To my blood and my bones at last
Melting away the cold cold steel
And concrete of my past

And still Nesslin's nestled on the edge of my mind
Taking me back to Saskatchewan
And maybe a new home in the end, a new home in the end

After convincing the talented Anna Bekolay (violin), Sarah Scharf (clarinet), Nevin Buehler (upright bass), Peter Abonyi (guitar) and Aidan Weiman (drums) to join her on her misadventure, The Whiskey Jerks soon created their own distinct niche. ... more
