lyrics

Peter and Anna drove on through the night,
Heading for Upper Canada, hope things turn out right,
The year was nineteen-ninety-four, prospects they were few,
The morning star was shining, the early light it grew.

Like some frail, migratory bird,
Blown here by the storm,
They'd fallen through the cracks in love,
Found each other warm,
Found each other warm.

Peter turned to Anna, with a child in her womb,
Said, "I'll rent you a grand piano, put some flowers round your room."
Said she, "It's all been done before, I have my old guitar,
And I will sing my child to sleep when you are gone and far."

(Refrain)

The swallow finds herself an house, foxes have their dens,
The traveler has the wilderness, as do our two young friends.
Anna sleeps as on they roll, toward Hamilton's foul fume,
As their love is woven on God's celestial loom.

(Refrain)
