Lyrics

When I was five and eighteen weeks, peat mud on my knees
My father climbed the maple tree and hung me up a swing
And I flew so high that I could almost touch the infant leaves
Cause I could do anything, I could do anything at all
I'm not the man I thought I'd be when I was seventeen
The ground's a little further now, the tree is still a tree
And I fumble on the swing, I'm a samara in the breeze
Not knowing anything, no I don't know anything at all
We'll have a house in Alberta
Or at least far away from the shore
With a tree swing out in the garden
And somebody to hang it for
Oh I tried hard to find where you were hurting
Cause I wanted to give you the world
But I've learned you're no map and I'm no atlas
And I can't do anything, cause I'm not anything at all
You took me by surprise when you convinced me to concede
I thought you were a forest but I missed you for the trees
How foolish to assume that you would never burn the leaves
Oh you can't keep anything
We can't be anything at all
We'll have a house in the mountains
Somewhere far far away from the shore
And the tree swing out in the garden
Will be somebody's open door
Oh I thought I was right for a moment
Cause the blood in my eyes was the world
But in the morning we'll be a day older
And it won't mean anything, cause I'm not anything at all
