lyrics

There’s a picture of you that I will always keep,
I took one morning in Val Marie,
Your eyes are shining with the rising sun,
I knew as soon as I took it that I’d like that one.

There’s a picture of us at Lake Louise,
We wanted the water to be brochure green,
But the snow was slow to melt last spring,
We’re disappointed but we’re still smiling.
That was the last time I was sure,
That was the last time you were, too.

There’s a picture of us in Winnipeg,
I’d finished playing to an empty bar,
You got up on the stage with me,
I hope you get better but you don’t get far.

Further and further my mind moves on,
To the day we drove straight through Marathon,
Rented out a room in cold North Bay,
Where we passed two last days of grace.

After the last time I was sure,
After the last time you were, too.
Because summer came and then you went,
Back to paying full rent.

So all these pictures of you I will keep with me,
In case I ever go through Val Marie,
I’ll return them to that plain,
What I’d give just to hear you complain.

Still there’s one picture of you that I will always keep,
It’s one I see when I sleep,
I’m no more than seventeen,
And of you I don’t even dare to dream.

Banff, AB - 2018

about

Campbell Woods

Campbell Woods pays attention.

He sings soft songs about hard luck. Writing songs rooted in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, his style is tried and true, but he’s no dinosaur. You’ve heard it all before, but not like this. ... more

Everything Shawn William Clarke does is pretty. Pretty guitar playing, vocals, songwriting, and with this album, a lovely sonic landscape. Perfect music for drinking your morning coffee while gazing out the window. Track 1 is the most calming and hopeful music I've heard in a really long time. Bet Smith
