The moon hung high in the
canopy of sky
Home Caroline Home
The coastline neared and the
deckhands cheered
Home Caroline Home
The mast stood tall like the
best of us all
Home Caroline Home
I thought of the clear light on your
hands and on the wood
In a church? in Saskatchewan
On the shore appeared men like a
welcoming parade
Banners, flags, and arsenal
But they were not what they
appeared to be as their white flags fell
Banners, flags, and arsenal
I looked up at the moon? and at the
water down below
Home Caroline Home
I tried to remember things? that the
pastor used to say
In a church? in Saskatchewan
Everyone raced onto the
deck
I tried to shoot but I just wretched
We must wrestle back what we had sown
We must wrestle back what we had left
I could not fire, and I
don’t know
why
Then I knew the truth
I felt I got what
I de
served
Then I knew the truth
I lay on the deck as the
cannon balls soared by overhead
Home Caroline Home
The hull gave in water came
rushing in across the deck
Home Caroline Home
I thought of the farm and the
work to be done
Home Caroline Home
I thought of the clean light and the
places that we’d hide
In a church in Saskatchewan
Everyone raced onto the
deck
I tried to shoot but I could not
We must wrestle back what we had sown
We must wrestle back what we had left
I could not fire, and I
don’t know
why
Then I knew the truth
I felt I got what
I de
served
Then I knew the truth
end on
