lyrics
Sitting down here in the pouring rain
Power gone out don’t know my name
Wind is howling in the tall dark pines
I’d go home but I lost my mind
Storm beating down, down, down, washing away
The sins of the town, town, town, take me away
Dinner in the oven fire on the stove
Through the night your lover she drove
She was gonna have you on a cold dark road
Instead she took a minute for a lung of cold smoke
Storm beating down, down, down, washing away
The sins of the town, town, town, take me away
Cut out the deadwood and make me new
I can’t remember what I saw in you
Cut me in the heart with your quiet disdain
I feel nothing and I’m numb to the shame
Storm beating down, down, down, washing away
The sins of the town, town, town, take me away
Windshield wipers slam each other back and forward
Screaming in the night, violent discord
Open up the song and the dark comes out
Do I bottle it now or share it about
Storm beating down, down, down, washing away
The sins of the town, town, town, take me away

Clearly, I am late to the party, but happy to be here now and will listen quietly from my corner so as not to break the spell. theUtmost
The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
