Galbraith Street

Ron Sexsmith · Ron Sexsmith [1995]

I woke up on Galbraith Street

Where the houses stood like twins

Oh and even though the door's been closed

I can find a way to get back in



For in daydreams my mind returns

Like a ghost upon the hill

As I knock upon old doors again

And find my friends all live there still



So many good times to speak of in a life

But none compared to the good times I had there



The world looks so much brighter when

You believe in every word

Now I'm holding on to all those years

Like a tear before it falls unheard



So many goodbyes to speak of in a life

But none compared to the goodbyes I said there



The sun went down on Galbraith Street

I saw it from my childhood bed

As the red and gold brick houses stood

Underneath a crimson sky that bled
