about

A song about Toronto, flooding and sentient racoons.

lyrics

Woke up early to the sound
Of thunder clapping
Hard rain coming down
And if this city drowns in a flood
Who will remember us
Save us?

Woke up early in a flood
Wiped my brow
Mouth was tasting blood
And if this city sinks in the waves
Who will remember us
Mark our graves?

On the nights
When our babies are born
On the nights
When we roll under covers
On the nights
When we shiver through the cold
On the nights
Pick our way through the rubble

Woke up early in a grave
Cut my hair
Change my name
And if this city crumbles and breaks
Who will remember us
Take our place?
