lyrics

Dear Margaret

Dear Margaret, while paddling down the river
In your little ol’ canoe
May never your travels be empty
And always company for you

Dear Margaret, yonder on the river’s bend
Carved into the bank shoreline rocks
Lies one lonely love letter
Sealed forget me not

Dear Margaret, you asked for something original
And I haven’t a clue where to begin
I haven’t one thing original in me
Except one original sin

Dear Margaret, when the golden sun is setting
And your heart from care is free
While you’re a-thinking of others
Will you ever think of me?

When the years and months have past us by
And on these pages you cast your eyes
Remember Margaret, a fellow sincere
The one who left you these faded souvenirs

Dear Margaret, we’re worlds apart by now
You anchored in our sweet home town
Abroad the globe I am bound
To where skies are foreign as the ground

With constellations upside down
And a moon that is sending me a frown
Oh Margaret, I’m lonesome
Without you around

When the years and months have past us by
And on these pages you cast your eyes
Remember Margaret, a fellow sincere
The one who left you these faded souvenirs

Do you still visit the river’s edge
And hum those folk songs like you do?
While I would thump a tune or two
With the crickets underneath the chandelier moon

Now sitting on your bedside
Reading poetry I’d write
Years ago for you
Know that those words still hold the truth

Now sitting on your bedside
Reading poetry I’d write
For you, oh Margaret,
Know the words still hold the truth

The poetry I’d write for you
Are now relic souvenirs
Forget me never,
Margaret dear

Friendship has been a pillar of audio/rocketry’s blistering rally cry from the start, with the core duo of Joe Vickers and Matthew Murphy expanding to accommodate a rotating crew of some of Edmonton’s hardest working musicians. After a decade of touring the continent, the band finds itself distilled to its strongest bonds and purest sound with the addition of Blair Drover and Jerome Tovillo. ... more
