The Chronicles of Sarnia


I had to hide myself in a book
To keep your love away
The pages worn with all of my faults
The cover torn away

I gave my life to the Water God
For an apprenticeship
Answering the mail and his door
For nyads, hypogryphs, after

Midwinter banquet, he shook his head
"Sadly, no,
I can reverse the river's flow
but I can never send you home"

I had to hide myself in a book
to keep your love away
When you read me, I get to look
Back at my younger days
