Galbraith Street - Ron Sexsmith

I woke up on Galbraith Street

Where the houses stood like twins

Oh, and even though the door’s been closed

I can find a way to get back in

For in daydreams my mind returns

Like a ghost upon the hill

As I knock upon old doors again

And find my friends all live there still

So many good times to speak of in a life

But none compared to the good times I had there

The world looks so much brighter when

You believe in every word

Now, I’m holding on to all those years

Like a tear before it falls unheard

So many goodbyes to speak of in a life

But none compared to the goodbyes I said there

The sun went down on Galbraith street

Saw it from my childhood bed

As the red and gold brick houses stood

Underneath a crimson sky that bled
