about

Written for my friends who own a hardware store in Chemainus BC. And have a band called The Hardware Girls.

lyrics

I’ve been contemplating
my state of stagnation
But it’s been a while
since I walked a mile
Living at our hardware store
Bolted to the concrete floor
It’s an industry
Of family
And at the end of every day
I get out my guitar and play
The song goes on
I’m no longer young
All the days seem quite the same
and all these people know my name
But my lovers face
Ain’t in this place
Chorus:
Maybe, in the morning
There’s a new tune on the wind
Maybe, in the morning
It’ll carry me to him

Used to be an honest day
Stocking shelves, learning trades
But it ain’t the same
Since the Depot came
Inventory, prices cut
And still the numbers don’t add up
And so resigned
To the For Sale sign
Nuts and nails and paper clips
Nothing is an easy fix
They still intrude
And we still get screwed
Dusty boxes, crumpled bills
Painting all the window sills
And beyond the sign
A horizon line

Chorus

Turning over silent page
The songs we sing, the wars we wage
It’s the stormy kind
Between heart and mind

Time to fold up all the rules
Time to put away these tools
There’s coffee on
There’s a brand new dawn
I love this town, I love this place
And from the warmth of this embrace
I step outside
Eyes opened wide
All I need is this guitar
All I need is in my heart
I’m ready now
I can sing outloud
Chorus x2
