Cape Ann - Tanya Donelly

When the road was wide

We walked side by side

Where it narrowed one fell behind

It was okay in those days

We were headed the same way

Didn’t care who’d get there first

You copy you paste you lose

So your bird can sing

It’s a beautiful thing

And you taught her all the songs we knew

But your bird, your bird, makes up all her own words

Which is just what I loved about you

Coming off of Cape Ann

Head to toe salt and sand

And the stain of the yellowing foan

The Atlantic, she loves you, you’re the one who got away

And she wants you back home

When the road is wide

We walk side by side

Where it narrows one falls behind

It’s okay, it’s okay, we’re all heading the same way

I don’t care who gets there first

Coming off of Cape Ann

Head to toe salt and sand

And the stain of the yellowing foan

The Atlantic, she loves you, you’re the one who got away

And she wants you back home

The Atlantic, she loves you

And she wants you back home

The Atlantic, she loves you

And she wants you back home

The Atlantic, she loves you

You’re the one who got away

And she wants you back home

She wants you back

She loves you

You’re the one who got away

The Atlantic, she loves you

You’re the one who got away

She loves you
