Cold Ontario
Frozen Dreams and Wicked Bleach: Cold Ontario's Haunting Tale
Lyrics
Well the work dried up in late November
Work opportunities became scarce towards the end of November.
So they say, so they say
It's a commonly acknowledged situation or rumor.
Under frozen skies of sunken splendour
Amidst frozen and beautiful skies.
So they say, so they say
Repeated acknowledgment of a widely known situation or rumor.
And the Earth's own skin a wicked bleach
The land appears barren and harsh.
So they say, so they say
Reiteration of a commonly spoken or believed idea.
Made forever seem so out of reach
The future seems unattainable or distant.
So they say, so they say
Repeated acknowledgment of a widely known situation or rumor.
He the victim, he the scars
A person who has suffered, bearing visible marks of it.
Room and board beneath the stars
Living outdoors, possibly homeless, exposed to the elements.
Where did he go?
Questioning the whereabouts of this individual.
Cold Ontario
Reference to the harsh, cold environment of Ontario.
Cold Ontario
Reiteration of the harshness of the Ontario setting.
And the days remembered are the days best be forgotten
Memories that are better forgotten due to their unpleasantness.
Like when father told him of the stars beyond his reach
A father's talk about unattainable aspirations.
He the victim, he the scars
A person who has suffered, bearing visible marks of it.
Room and board beneath the stars
Living outdoors, possibly homeless, exposed to the elements.
Where did he go?
Questioning the whereabouts of this individual.
Cold Ontario
Reference to the harsh, cold environment of Ontario.
Cold Ontario
Reiteration of the harshness of the Ontario setting.
He couldn't get the spark for the fire to catch
Unable to find motivation or inspiration.
So they say, so they say
Repeated acknowledgment of a widely known situation or rumor.
Threw the wood too far then refused to fetch
Resisted taking necessary actions to improve his situation.
So they say, so they say
Repeated acknowledgment of a widely known situation or rumor.
He walked a crooked mile with a crooked smile
He moved along in a deceitful or misleading manner.
So they say, so they say
Repeated acknowledgment of a widely known situation or rumor.
He the victim, he the scars
A person who has suffered, bearing visible marks of it.
Room and board beneath the stars
Living outdoors, possibly homeless, exposed to the elements.
Where did he go?
Questioning the whereabouts of this individual.
Cold Ontario
Reference to the harsh, cold environment of Ontario.
Cold Ontario
Reiteration of the harshness of the Ontario setting.
