Name: Calgary
Duration: P00H05M34S
Description: I wrote this song for a very important person in my life. She lives very far away. The night before the time of this writing, we had been on Skype for the first time together and we talked back and forth for four hours, and it was amazing. It hurts me to know that it's nearly impossible we'll ever cross paths in real life, but this song is about the things that aren't lame like that.

I wrote this song for a very important person in my life. She lives very far away. The night before the time of this writing, we had been on Skype for the first time together and we talked back and forth for four hours, and it was amazing. It hurts me to know that it's nearly impossible we'll ever cross paths in real life, but this song is about the things that aren't lame like that.

lyrics

Calgary, sing to me
Fill me with your words and kill me with your tears
Oh, Calgary

Calgary, be with me
Crush me with your crimes until i disappear
Oh, calgary

Take me to the place where i want to go
Up to the white north i’m stuck here below
We can keep each other warm from the bitter cold
Please be my angel in the snow

Calgary, please wait for me
I will not be long i just want to explore
Monogamy

Calgary, in spite of me
Smile with your teeth i don’t want anymore
Autonomy

Take me to the place where i want to go
Up to the white north i’m stuck here below
We can keep each other warm from the bitter cold
Please be my angel in the snow

Take me as i am, please never let me go
Oh, Calgary

Calgary, my deity
Bright in every sense and gorgeous to the nines
Sweet Calgary

Calgary, my finest dream
Passport states my home, but it won’t be till you’re mine
Dear Calgary

Take me to the place where i want to go
Up to the white north i’m stuck here below
We can keep each other warm from the bitter cold
Please be my angel in the snow

Take me as i am, please never let me go
Oh, Calgary

Take me as i am, please never let me go
Oh, Calgary
Dear Calgary
Sweet Calgary
Calgary, my Calgary
