aurora's waving over Sudbury tonight
she throws a welcome on the ice
the snow like diamonds on the shores of Ramsey Lake
on Earth and heaven all is right
but I wish you were here
though it's lovely I'm alone
I wish you were here
isn't it time that you came home?
to your Sudbury home
the trees are all in flower
on the Bell Park paths
waving arms to welcome you
waves are kissing on the shores of Ramsey Lake
the way that I'd be kissing you
but I wish you were here
though it's lovely I'm alone
I wish you were here
isn't it time that you came home?
to your Sudbury home
I'll light a fire in the stove
then I'll pour your favourite wine
there's no better place go
when home's the heart that's yours and mine
Sudbury home
Cavasses of blue
hold polkadotted kites
writing welcomes on the sky
the summer air's alive with melodies tonight
as the festival goes by
I wish you were here
though it's lovely I'm alone
I wish you were here
isn't it time that you came home?
to your Sudbury home
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
