Verse 1

Gas

Low

Half-eaten doughnut on the dash

Cracked vinyl seat

The heater hums a heavy drone

I remember

I remember

The way the highway split the pines

Lake Superior looks like a bruised eye

Purple water

Cold

Chorus

Across the Canadian Shield

Across the Canadian Shield

Driving till the sky turns grey

Driving till the sky turns grey

It is a long way home

It is a long way home

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Far away

Oh oh oh

Stay away

Verse 2

Rust

Crawl

Old iron bridge stands tall

River runs black

Deep beneath the limestone shelf

Nobody saw it

Nobody heard it

Nobody felt the sudden shift

Silver coins inside a coffee tin

Small change

Small life

Dust on the window pane

Chorus

Across the Canadian Shield

Across the Canadian Shield

Driving till the sky turns grey

Driving till the sky turns grey

It is a long way home

It is a long way home

Bridge

Maybe the map is wrong

Maybe the road is gone

Maybe the ghost is me

Watching the crows

Counting the miles

Waiting for the thaw

Waiting for the sun

Waiting for the end

Chorus

Across the Canadian Shield

Across the Canadian Shield

Driving till the sky turns grey

Driving till the sky turns grey

It is a long way home

It is a long way home

Outro

North of the border

Left the engine running

Snow on the grill

Frozen ground

Wait for me

Wait for me

Wait

Gas

Low

Gone
