This is a Cowboy Junkies song from one of their less well-known albums (Black-Eyed Man, 1992). Basically a sad song about somebody in a dead end town, dead end life, and with change on her mind.
But for us, this is the song we sang while building the run-in shed. The song we sang while augering the fenceposts. Lining up the fenceposts. Hanging the fence. You get the idea.
Margo Timmins' voice is a thing of beauty. The arrangement is pretty good too, but we always come back to her voice. Wow. Plus on cold fall days, this is how our minds turn to winter's dark thoughts.
