Joe Henry - Sault Sainte Marie lyrics

In Sault Sainte Marie The hills glow without the help of God You can almost see The river in November turn to steel; If only I knew how To wish you well in living without me, You might forgive me now And maybe I'd be free to go... In Sault Sainte Marie I wouldn't give you much for your chance That is, if you were me And thought that you could shoulder days gone by; You don't owe me this My dreams are not yours to pull ashore Just because we kissed Up on some swaying bridge. In Sault Sainte Marie. By now you know I remember almost everything you say Sometimes it goes to show You're better off believing you misheard; What is done is gone And leaves me here alone and none too sure And on my own And maybe I'm just free to go... From Sault Sainte Marie. If only I knew how To wish you well in living without me You might forgive me now And maybe I'd be free to go... In Sault Sainte Marie The hills glow without the help of God And you can almost see The river in November turn to steel.
