lyrics

“Hey Dynasty, Don’t Forget..”

If I’d to make a tally
Of all the brilliant moments
This city has brought me
I’m not sure I’d know where to start

Was it by the river?
When we overcame our failures
And decided to never be
Anyone but who we are

‘Cause remember the early months
When overwhelmed by displacement
We were hungry and desperate but
Over-consumed by the hunt

Now the streets that we pave
Of achievements and mistakes
They permanently display
Your initials with my name

And we will champion our loses
Because that’s what the title means to me
I might have been born in the heydays
These streets aren’t what they use to be

Last night we scaled the siding
Until we reached the rooftop
Time sputtered with the neon lights
Of the used car dealership’s lot

From the vantage point we could see
The city inhaling and exhaling
That’s when you took a breath of your own
And told me you were leaving

The move was out of necessity
To patch a wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding
As the evening came to an end
we hug then you waved goodbye to the Leg

On my quiet solemn walk home
I found voice in the wreckage
And sent one last demand
Sealed in a text message

“Promise me you’ll call me when
You come back to Edmonton”

Today I found a piece of paper
Tucked into the pocket of my coat
Inside the fold, your writing
Addressed one last note

The blue ink instructed
For me to follow
The two lines below:

“Don’t forget the words you sung,
Don’t forget what makes you strong.”
