lyrics

She is standing in her coat
And it’s ten below now
She is looking down the restless road
The bus should be here in three minutes time

She is forty-two years old
And it’s starting to show now
Still she wasn’t sad to see him go
And she doesn’t want another man

But when she falls asleep
Her mind comes unattached
She cries into the deep
Gone! Gone! Oh my love – gone.

She is tired of the refrain
And she’s tired of teaching
She would like to reframe, yes
But she’s faithful to the life she chose

He was trying to change her style
He was over-reaching
But she really did believe him when
He said: “I want to be a better man”

And at the water’s edge
Limitless and dark
He held her in his arms
Gone! Gone! Oh my love – gone.

Now she’s thinking of her dad
And his forces failing
Oh but mama won’t forsake him, no
Even though he says that she’s to blame

Was he ever really true?
Did he ever face her?
Didn’t he want to replace her?
He was in a race against the time

Now she’s looking down the road
And it’s never-ending
And she whispers into her coat
That she doesn’t want another man
She doesn’t want another man
She doesn’t want another man

about

Daniel Isaiah Montreal, Québec

With every album I try to give myself some new challenge. For Only One Left, I learned how to produce my own recordings at home. For my upcoming LP I learned to play piano, and wrote all of the songs on that instrument. I work hard on the lyrics. I try to boil my ideas down into plain and simple language. The simpler the better. ... more
