Keep in mind this came to me while waiting for the
subway on my way to work today.
There hasn't been a Nields here
For about 3000 years
Okay, it's not been that long
But it seems that when you're here
And Richard Flohill called them
In October they did play
Then they promised to return
Now I'm waiting for that day..
Oh no, I will still believe
Crossing the border's not that hard to achieve
Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I'm not sure
But on the day they do come back,
I'm the first one at the door!
And at Ted's Wrecking Yard that night
I heard someone else's songs
Sung to some Canadians
And the whole room sang along
No one there was dancing;
There were tables in the way
But I did some chair bouncing -
I can't sit still when they play!
Oh no, I will still believe
Crossing the border's not that hard to achieve
Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I'm not sure
But on the day they do come back,
I'm the first one at the door!
Ted's Wrecking Yard is quiet
Since the Nields have all gone home
And night has started to descend
But my eyes are open wide
Far off in the distance,
It sounds just like a "Train"..
Maybe my imagination is fooling me again
Oh no, I will still believe
Crossing the border's not that hard to achieve
Maybe I'm mistaken, maybe I'm not sure
But on the day they do come back,
I'm the first one at the door!
