Big Feelings
I’ve got a feeling
As I take in Cape Spear
It’s how I imagine Freewheelin’
I’ll grow six inches this year
I’ve got big feelings about you
In a lone highway store
Watching birds on the prairie
Or Superior’s shore
Searchers comb Fundy caves
Wearing out pairs of shoes
And cars passing in waves
Hum Canadian blues
I’ve got big feelings about you
In a forest alone
On the banks of St. Lawrence
Or miles of stone
Here am I in this sewer
Staring up in distress
I see stars and I see children
It’s an adventure nonetheless
A box of pine with a name
But my tree hasn’t been felled
Spirit doesn’t know lame
Miles still left to tell
I’ve got big feelings about you
Roads wind and disappear
Horizons widen too far to breathe
And dust this frontier
