lyrics

Sadie’s Song

It was a good day

breaking all the rules

Sadie lit the firecrackers

first to dare and I was first to run

Crimson hair

rivaling the sun

Sadie said "don't listen

when they tell you that you're just a little girl"

Skinned my knees

tore my new blue jeans

climbing over fences

when it suited us to feel a bit more free

It was a good day

showing all them fool boys

doing all the things they said

weren't for us, they just weren't meant for girls

Crooked smile

freckles 'cross her nose

made up constellations

told me all the places we were bound to go

We'd drop in

to every church in town

peeked in through the stained-glass window

tried to find the one God hung around

Northern Lights

slung across the sky

the banks of Lake Ontario

silver-green reflecting in our eyes

Made our pledge

right there on the shore

swore we'd never let them win

the stars came spilling down over our heads

Sunlight spills across my table

bright and cold as steel

Sunrise I am trying to remember

were those dreams or real?

All my words fall shy of arrival

still my heart can feel

Kept my word

I never let them win

Sadie's been inside my head

whispering in my ear all this time
