letra de windows of halifax - steve poltz
the windows of halifax
were shuttered and closed down
it was almost christmas eve
it was quiet on the town
there was snow on the streets
everyone was inside
i look at my tree
and i slowly cry
well i drove in my car
it was like i was on the moon
i thought of a warmer place
in the middle of june
sometimes this old snow
makes me so mad
sometimes for no reason
i just feel kinda sad
the windows of halifax tonight
well the first window says to
the second window
“how come you never open up?”
and the second window says
“i had my hеart broke once
now i just stay closed shut”
wеll the first window says
“maybe you could see some kind of
counselor or something
maybe a window washer could
help you see things more clearly
’cause i think you’re pretty attractive
but you always have your
shade pulled down
and the sun can never come in”
well the second window says
“frick the sun, guy
the girl i love is back in st. anthony
in the big old house with
overgrown weeds
she’s a beautiful window
and i can see all the way through her
to her soul”
“back in st. anthony?
well i was imported from st. john’s
well the fellow who lives here
he studied chemistry at
dalhousie university
truthfully he flunked out
be he’s still a chemist
well actually, he’s just a drug dealer
and we got people comin’ in and
outta the house all night long
but i don’t have anyone to talk to
just bottle caps and cigarette b-tts
being fl!cked my way”
“dalhousise university you say?
well the fellow that lives here next door
he studied geography and archaeology
over in antiginosh
at st. francis xavier university
but he flunked out too
now the only mountains he sees
are paper mountains
from his failed thesis
yeah he’s got some tinfoil trees
a cardboard river
and an ugly, ugly paper mountain
he made out of the drug dealers trash outside”
sometimes this old snow
makes me so mad
sometimes for no reason
i just feel kinda sad
the windows of halifax tonight
well the windows of the maritimes
they’re all tellin’ stories
of the plentiful days
of the cod and the glory
where an explosion that rocked
a french cargo ship
in dartmouth near the harbor
all the windows got clipped
well all these windows
they’re all tellin’ stories
some are so sweet
some are so gory
there was a murder one night
no one ever speaks of
the windows of halifax tonight
