THE BREAKING OF EVERYTHING

There was blue sky over Red Rock yesterday when I was with her
Five hundred miles of dotted lines is all this day’s delivered
The jack pine, spruce and great lake winds, they give my back a shiver
As I turn the wheel through the square black steel of this bridge on the Spanish River

And I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’m gonna blow
Last night I felt like porcelain thrown across a stone floor
We had something that went down deep, but we both let it go
Now I am a cloud of smoke headed for the window

I’m sorry for the heartache, and the loneliness this brings
I’m sorry for the breaking of everything
I’m trying to be someone who can disappear for good
You’re trying to be the strong one, like I knew you would

In some far off foreign nation we look at all the blown out streets
And we say love can conquer anything, we say love can bring you peace
But when it comes to you and me, it’s been a different kind of war
Some things hurt like bullets, some things can hurt you even more

I’m sorry for the heartache, and the loneliness this brings
I’m sorry for the breaking of everything
I’m trying to be someone who can disappear for good
You’re trying to be the strong one, like I knew you would

So on this road above lake Huron I start to see the northern lights
I guess that beauty shines through everything, it doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
In these forests of Ontario some things grow and some things wither
And that’s as far as I can think things through on this bridge on the Spanish River

I’m sorry for the heartache, and the loneliness this brings
I’m sorry for the breaking of everything
I’m trying to be someone who can disappear for good
You’re trying to be the strong one, like I knew you would
You’re trying to be the strong one, like I knew you would
