Pavement and Pines (Live version)

from My Dad's Songs by Michael Averill

lyrics

You've got the pavement, I've got the pines
I've got the trails, you've got streets in straight lines
You've got the runners wrapped up in the race
I've learned to slow down my pace

You've got the prairies where the waving wheat blows
I've got the wildness where the great Yukon flows
You've got the blizzards of screaming white snow
I've got sixty below

But we've both felt the rain
We've both seen the sun
Stars in the sky, and the rivers that run
You there with you
Me here with me
We both have ourselves to be

You've got a shopping mall just down the block
I've got the time and a Sears catalogue
I don't say it's better, just different somehow
And it seems to suit me right now

You dream of Dawson where you think the gold hides
And I sit and wonder about the outside
You think of changing, making you a new man
And I know that I never can

But we've both felt the rain
We've both seen the sun
Stars in the sky, and the rivers that run
You there with you
Me here with me
We both have ourselves to be
