Lyrics The Chronicles Of Sarnia - Owen Pallett

The Chronicles Of Sarnia

I had to hide myself in a book
To keep your love away
The pages worn with all of my faults
The cover torn away
I gave my life to the Water God
For an apprenticeship
Answering his mail and his door
For nyads, hyppogryphs, after…
Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head
«Sadly, no
I can reverse the river’s flow
But I can never send you home.»
I had to hide myself in a book
To keep your love away
When you read me, I get to look
Back at my younger days
