They called here to tell me

That you’re finally dying

Thru a veil of childish cries
Southern Manitoba
Prairies pulling at the
Pant-leg of your bad disguise

So why were you so

Anchorless
D A G
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in
D B A B
Shoebox full of photos
Found a grainy mirror
Sunken cheeks and slender hands
Grocery lists and carbon
Copied letters offer
Silence for my small demands
Hey how’d you get so
Anchorless
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in
D A G
Got an armchair from your family home
Got your p.g. wodehouse novels and your telephone
Got your plates and stainless steel
Got that way of never saying what you really feel
Anchorless
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
The small town that you lived and died in
D C# B A G
Don’t want to live and die here
Don’t want to live and die here were we’re
Anchorless
Anchorless
Anchorless
The small towns that we live and die in
