lyrics

Nights like weeks in Timmins
You'd work out in the mines
I'd go to bed eyes wide awake
And bury you in my mind
I'd bury you in mind
Your sooty boots would stain the stairs
Up to our front door
You'd made it through another night
And come home in the morn
You'd come home in the morn

And it would be a nice light to lay me down with you in
I'd be a nice light
It'd be a nice light to lay me down with you in
It'd be a nice light

Your foreman became bossman, so foreman you became
You'd made it up the ladder to work a 14 hour day
You'd work a 14 hour day
And with the 10 they'd left you a pack of 12 you'd drink
To get you through the beat down of those postwar
Thoughts you'd think
Yeah, those postwar thoughts you'd think

Oh, it would be a nice light to lay me down with you yeah
I'd be a nice night
It'd be a nice night to lay me down with you in
It'd be a nice night

But not with your anxious thoughts
Your anxious thoughts
Now my anxious thoughts, they get overwrought
I weep my night away

There's a dip here in the mattress
Beside me where you lay
I can't bear to lie here, oh I weep my night away
You know I weep my night away

I'll grab that shovel darling, march up to your grave
Dig a hole right next to yours and next to you I'll stay
Yeah next to you I'll stay

And it'll be a nice night to lay me down with you
It'll be a nice night
Yeah, it'll be a nice night to lay me down with you
It'll be a nice night
