The Chronicles Of Sarnia Lyrics

I had to hide myself in a book
To keep your love away
The pages worn with all of my faults
The cover torn away

I gave my life to the Water God
For an apprenticeship
Answering the mail and his door
For nyads, hyppogryphs, after...

Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head
"Sadly, no,
I can reverse the river's flow,
but I can never send you home."

I had to hide myself in a book
to keep your love away
When you read me, I get to look
Back at my younger days

Cool! This song's title must be about Sarnia, Ontario, Canada (Where I am from!) He is from Toronto, which is a two hour drive from Sarnia.

the title made me laugh i love owens randon refrences kindove seems like he misses his childhood and sometimes wants to hide there love can be complicated so to escape it he reads and remebers simplier times. maybe im "reading into it" to much no pun intended haha im sorry that was lame.
