City and Colour

City and Colour is the recording alias for Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who was also the guitarist and vocalist of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. He plays melodic acoustic and folk music and is often accompanied by a rotating number of Canadian indie rock musicians, such as Daniel Romano and Spencer Burton of Attack in Black.

How?

How can you just walk out on me
Without a trace?
I don't hear the sound of your voice
I can't see your face
On one side of the coin there's a cure
But on the other there's a curse
Well, I'm living in the larger world now
Where work brings worth

To the things we choose to care about
So, what is life like for me now?
No more easy victories of youth
Just the things we choose to care about

I know that I have more than I will ever need
But I've learned that it does nothing to stop
The re-ocurrence of greed
And there ain't enough whiskey in this world
To ease a tormented mind
So, I'm longing for that place in my dreams
Where light brings life

To the things that we choose to care about
So, what is life like for me now?
No more easy victories of youth
Just the things that we choose to care about

Your memory
It will remain
Always and forever
As winter fades
What still remains, always

Just the things that we choose to care about
So, what is life like for me now?
No more easy victories of youth
Just the things that we choose to care about
