The Chronicles Of Sarnia - Owen Pallett

I had to hide myself in a book

To keep your love away

The pages worn with all of my faults

The cover torn away

I gave my life to the Water God

For an apprenticeship

Answering his mail and his door

For nyads, hyppogryphs, after…

Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head

«Sadly, no

I can reverse the river’s flow

But I can never send you home.»

I had to hide myself in a book

To keep your love away

When you read me, I get to look

Back at my younger days
