Spooks, Matthew Macfadyen as Tom Quinn
Music : " Left and Leaving " by The Weakerthans
My city's still breathing (but barely it's true)
through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
all sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show.
Back with the streets I know.
They never take me anywhere but here.
Those stains in the carpet, this drink in my hand,
these strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say I wanted it this way
and wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.
I wait in 4/4 time.
Count yellow highway lines that you're relying on to lead you home

Beautiful poetic lyrics .

  • It's such a nice tribute to the city of Winnipeg.

  • Your comment on one of my videos made me aware of the fact that it has been waaaay too long since I commented one of yours! *blushing* It is smashing, as always. I always love your songchoices (never heard this one) and Spooks is just a great serie. Your editing is wonderful so that makes a 5* rating for me too ;-) It is very touching. Lovely done as always!

  • Did he ever hook up with Zoe? I didn't like Christine for some reason, maybe she was too cold.
