Parkdale

by Elizabeth Shepherd

on Parkdale (2008)

Chalk hearts on broken streets
Smoking, sweet relief
His soul knows no defeat
You just can't stop him

Neighbour chokes her sound
He's knocked her to the ground
Never seen her 'round
I just can't stop it

Shredded hearts in paper shacks
Know only love through lack
Each day back
Looking hard to find it
Keep on looking, never stop

Dog barking loud at dawn
He knows his master's gone
Got shot, the dog's alone
And couldn't stop it

The girl in twenty eight
Lights fire in the night
To prove she's still alive
I just can't stop it

Shredded hearts

The moon's watchful eye
May see how hard we try
But living for this high
You just can't stop it

Another night is done
We've lived to greet the sun
Though small, this battle's won
You just can't stop us

Shredded hearts
