Am I Still Alive? Where Did I Collapse? In Edmonton Alberta, Home In Halifax
Float Me Down The River, To The Mosquidobit Harbour, Cause I'm Gettin Nowhere
______________________________________________________________________________
Then you repeat the entire thing again except the intro under these lyrics:
I Met My Love Down At The Khyber, And We Drifted Through The Crowd, And When I Finally
Beside Her, You Can hear My Heart Out Loud
And When I'm Gone, She'll Never Leave me, Oh No She'll Never be Untrue, And Buddy If You
Believe Me You Don't Believe The Sky Is blue.
Am I Still Alive? Where Did I Collapse? In Edmonton Alberta, At Home In Halifax. Float
Down The River, To The Mosquidobit Harbour, Cause I'm Getting Nowhere
Then There Is A Drum Break and another verse of bass
And If It Feels, Just Like A Toss Up, perhaps It IS, Perhaps it Ain't,
Do you Remember e|---------------------|
