Mixed in Nova Scotia WATER’S NEVER FAR Cross the border in a Honda in the sun River and the sky an equal blue On the road a while, this journey’s only begun She hands back the passport – I am through Crossing counties that have names I’ve heard in song Bridges keep the highway smooth and straight Signs along the roadside seem to nudge me along Telling me I’m in another state. Steel wheels, asphalt, rubber in between Mile markers burn clicks away I see towns and trees but water’s never far away. Coming into Cleveland in a bit of rain I can see the river’s not on fire I begin to think I’ve been mislead by a song Lured by dreams, driven by desire Sun comes out and I turn south away from the lake On the phone a voice I recognize Signs along the river won’t prevent a mistake Rocking boats don’t always capsize. Steel strings, wood stage, human in between Voices that raise the cafe Rain drums on the roof and water’s never far away. At the hotel again, watching CNN, and water’s lapping at their doors People curse the silt that feeds the land. We’re living on a floodplain Where the water has its way. You can’t hold back a river with your hand. Steal hearts, share songs, life is in between I drove home the next day Eyes on road ahead but water’s never far away. Words and music by David Partridge
