lyrics

Bonnie Sainte-Marie

I can’t forgive this southern wind
Cutting off the strait again;
It cuts you deep, deep down to the bone,
Stirring up those sleeping ghosts.

These goddamn seasons never seem to end;
They’re relentless and impossible and I’m drunk to hell again.
I raise my glass, I raise it up high;
There must be something that’s gotten into my eye.

A toast to absent friends.
To things that couldn’t be.
But most of all,
To Bonnie Sainte-Marie.

It’s funny how some people circle round you like some howling wind;
They sweep in underneath you, shoot through you, and send you swinging.
She was a girl, come down from the West,
With the spirit in her eyes and a restlessness.

Now, really, I don’t know if we’ll, we’ll ever meet again;
Some go out, some go on in, some disappear, some keep on drifting.
I raise my glass and wish for them the best,
Those weary, windswept wanderers, and that girl from the West.

A toast to absent friends.
To things that couldn’t be.
But most of all,
To Bonnie Sainte-Marie.

I raise a glass to all of them.
