[00:00.00]Escarpment Blues - Sarah Harmer
[00:00.17]If they blow a hole in my backyard
[00:05.55]Everyone is gonna run away
[00:09.77]And the creeks won't flow
[00:12.16]To the great lake below
[00:14.54]Will the water in the wells still be okay
[00:21.17]If they blow a hole in the backbone
[00:25.84]The one that runs 'cross the muscles of the land
[00:30.75]Oh we might get a load of stone for the road
[00:35.28]But I don't know how much longer we can stand
[00:42.68]We'll need to build some new apartments
[00:51.26]And I know we're gonna have to fix the roads
[01:00.23]But if we blow another hole in the escarpment
[01:10.25]The wild ones won't have anywhere to go
[01:28.58]If they blow a hole in my backyard
[01:33.83]Everyone is gonna run away
[01:38.13]And the creeks won't flow to the great lake below
[01:42.80]Will the water in the wells still be okay
[01:50.17]We'll keep driving on the blind line
[01:58.63]If we don't know where we want to go
[02:08.05]Even knowledge that's sound
[02:13.29]Can get watered down
[02:18.58]Truth can get s*cked out the car window
[02:28.03]Truth can get s*cked out the car window
[02:37.10]We're two thirds water
[02:41.82]What do we really need
[02:46.36]But sun
[02:48.44]Showers soil and seed
[02:55.67]We're two thirds water
[03:00.34]The aquifers provide
[03:04.43]Deep down in the rock
[03:09.19]There's a pearl inside
[03:22.98]If they blow a hole in the backbone
[03:27.55]The one that runs across the muscles of the land
[03:32.40]Oh we might get a load of stone for the road
[03:36.88]But I don't know how much longer we can stand
[03:41.67]Oh we might get a load of stone for the road
[03:46.80]But I don't know how much longer we can stand
