In You I Glow

​

Can’t say much for the nicotine

Or this marijuana head

But the beer’s been here for many years

My consequential friend

And I’ve grown

 

Up from north Ontario

To the shores of Newfoundland

Alberta’s rocks, London’s docks

To a Louisiana can

I’m far away from home

​

Thumbed my way through foreign cars

All to prove that I was free

I’ve drowned myself & got my scars

From sea to shining sea

I am from the snow

​

I've felt the rush of lovers lips

An addiction for my end

They’ve made my day & sunk my ships

All the same I call them friends

 

In you I glow

 

Can’t say much for the nicotine

Or this marijuana head

But the beer’s been here for many years

My consequential friend

 

In you I glow
