lyrics

There's a scent in the air and leaves in paper bags
And there's a wind like Mona, smoking all my fags
We were driving up North as the Winter did loom
Woke at dawn in a motel room

It was a long drive
And I looked with lonesome eyes
As your body moved away from me
How did I hope this would be

Superior, she kept her cool
All the drearier my waters did pool
We prayed it wouldn't snow
Before we left Ontario
But my heart is a snow-capped non-believer

But there's a scent in the air and the sound of open road
And I remember, not long ago, with a long haul trucker I'd stowed
We were driving up North as the summer did moon
Left that very dawn your little rented room

It was a long drive
And I watched with weary eyes
As my body moved away from you
On this highway, then I did croon this tune
