Gordon Downie - Retrace

 

High as an elephant?s eye
Before we even left
And when the party had died
And as we drank the rest
I retrace my steps

Snowy basketball court
Cross the cold courthouse steps
Hanging on every word
Hearing everything you say as
I retrace my steps

I retrace my steps, I wear a lonely path
I retrace my steps and back

Woke up this afternoon
A pale sun in the west
I haven?t left my room
I haven?t taken a step
As I retrace my steps

I retrace my steps until no trace remains
And I?ll retrace my steps again

I?ll retrace my steps
Though I know we?re all saying ?Goodbye?
You know, I?ll retrace my steps again, tonight
Tonight
