I left this town in arkensaw To a place where i could dream Where your love could be loved and you Never would see all the hatred inbetween There was a kind old woman, she told me i could stay. The room i would share with the dog And the cat and the stranger on the way This world Breaks your heart and makes you grey This world Breaks you heart and makes you grey Would you be my lover all the same They killed a man in langely Left him on the ground Cause his love for a man wasn't working for them So they beat him to look down They sang a song in calgary And they painted on the wall When you dreams could be placed in the hopes of a song And a canvas that won't drown This world Breaks you heart and makes you grey This world Breaks you heart and makes you grey Would you be my lover all the same this world Breaks your heart and makes you grey Would you be my lover all the same Would you be my lover all the same
