Christa Couture - Hill House Diary #01: In Michigan

Diary #01 from my artist residency at the Hill House. I'm here working on the songs for my next album - The Living Record. (for more info on that visit: http://www.indiegogo.com/Christa-Coutures-New-Album-The-Living-Record)

Lyrics for the wee road song:

Well you remember the 70s much better than I
You were alive then - for one thing
It was the end of that decade when I arrived
And you were here - in Michigan

I crossed the border this morning with no trouble at all
Picked up a car at the airport
She said "isn't Canada part of America now?"
And was surprised when I told her "No."

I am lost in the city but don't take pity on me.

For every colour of Autumn and every leaf that's got 'em
There's a weight that falls away
Yes there's an inkling of freedom and a promise of reprieve
In the woods here of Michigan

Every mile of the highway puts a mile behind me
A mile between me and the pain
Were that true I would drive until the land turned to
The water of Lake Superior

I am lost in the city but don't take pity on me.
