The Weakerthans Civil Twilight Lyrics

My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
and I can't stop finding your face in their faces all rearranged.
and angry like you never were

And I ease us back into traffic
dusk come dawn and I wonder why I'm always remembering you
in civil twilight

For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, et cetera
or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!
but this part of the day bewilders me

Streets slow down and ice over,
dusk come dawn and I struggle to stop
to stop to stop thinking of you
in civil twilight

hey, every other hour I pass that house,
where you told me that you had to go.
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
that I stared at, instead of staring back
at you;
my chance to say something, seemed so frequent but it wasn't
now I know I had plenty of time
between the sun set and certified darkness
dusk come dawn, and I follow;
the exhaust from memory up to the end

in civil twilight, the civil twilight
in civil twilight, the civil twilight
