ON TOP OF MACDONALD BRIDGE

I feel good right now

At this place, at this time

I climbed to where I am right now

Came up here with a deck of cards

And cigarettes from St. Pierre - Miquelon

My shoes always slip on the last rung
The cars glow past beneath me now
The harbour wind is wet on my face
And I burned the suits off of the cards
And sent them blowing far off
To Sable Island

I can see the lights of the city

I can see my own apartment

I can see the light’s on in the kitchen
I got my kerosene lamp

And a wool hat from Norway

It’s harder to get down when it’s raining
