The Weakerthans - Exiles Among You Lyrics

Send "Exiles Among You" ringtone to your cell

Her body is a difficult sister and she loves her

And hides her somewhere in herself safe from harm.

She's barely coasting into a paycheque stuck on empty.

Her blue eyes frozen green in the low-lit atm.

I need a way to measure the distance.

I need a way to say why

Out of breath or out of key her voice resonated in me.

Wish on everything

Pray that she remains proud and strange and so hopelessly hopeful.

Her body is a difficult sister and she loves her

And hides her somewhere in herself safe from harm.

Her night shift is over

She's writing you a postcard to say that she's okay

And it's raining there again.

My fury's rising faster than bus-fares.

Could someone clarify why there's no structured narrative?

No neat story-line to explain?

Wish on everything.

Pray that she remains proud and strange and so hopelessly hopeful.

(wishes and prayers are the way that we leave the lonely alone

And push the wounded away).

She shoplifts some christmas gifts

And a bracelet for herself and considers phoning home.

Has some quarters in her hand.

But she sits down on the sidewalk and bites her bottom lip

And spends the afternoon willing traffic-lights to change.
