Cowboy Junkies - Continental Drift lyrics

Here's the story of a dying man Told by a friend of mine He said that he heard it from a friend of his Who was a real close friend one time One night he chose to choke his wife Until the light that was there turned cold He'd heard some stories 'bout her From a friend of a friend I'm told The continental drift The continental drift Why do you say "no" When what you mean is "yes"? Why do you say "never mind" When it's obvious that you do? Yeah, I love you too When it's obvious that you do Yeah, I love you too Let's hang around and watch This good man lose his goodness And leave a trail of misery behind I heard he chose to choke his life until the light in it went cold I heard it from a friend of a very good friend of mine The continental drift The continental drift The continental drift The continental drift
