about
Magnetawan is a beautiful little place not far from my parents' cottage. The word itself is beautiful and I knew I had to write about it or at least, turn it into a character in a song. A fairly traditional tune about love and loss and love again - he hopes the healing powers of their special little place in the world can do their thing. The song started with the title, inspired by a conversation with a dear old friend, Nikola Steer. Thanks for always making time to chat.
lyrics
your love was fadin'
so I got bated
into askin' you
what was wrong
you really let me have it
listin' my bad habits
each and every one
the list was long
I just stood there and took it
after all, what was
I supposed to do
you weren't wrong
meet me in Magnetawan
and I'll never let you go
meet me in Magnetawan
and we'll both be halfway home
meet me in Magnetawan
when I came in
you were waitressin'
at an old
no name saloon
I had my guitar
put that six string on the bar
cause I only had eyes
for you
I started playin'
hopin' you'd start
singing along
I played a Dolly Parton tune
that was the beginning
of what I hoped was
the rest of my life
with you
meet me in Magnetawan
and I'll never let you go
meet me in Magnetawan
and we'll both be halfway home
meet me in Magnetawan
I learn my lessons the hard way
that's why you couldn't stay
I learn my lessons the hard way
meet me in Magnetawan
and I'll never let you go
meet me in Magnetawan
and we'll both be halfway home
meet me in Magnetawan
