Continental Drift - Cowboy Junkies

Here’s the story of a dying man

Told by a friend of mine

He said that he heard it from a friend of his

Who was a real close friend one time

One night he chose to choke his wife

Until the light that was there turned cold

He’d heard some stories 'bout her

From a friend of a friend I’m told

The continental drift

The continental drift

Why do you say «no»

When what you mean is «yes»?

Why do you say «never mind»

When it’s obvious that you do?

Yeah, I love you too

When it’s obvious that you do

Yeah, I love you too

Let’s hang around and watch

This good man lose his goodness

And leave a trail of misery behind

I heard he chose to choke his life until the light in it went cold

I heard it from a friend of a very good friend of mine
