Ottawa, the Capital
I see birds flying south, while I'm headed up
I'd trade places with them
Cause I've gone far enough
And I hope the capital is easy on me
A wing and a prayer and the hope of a fool
It's the blind optimism you lost in your youth
And I hope that Ottawa is easy on me
Easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to d**h and defeat
I can tell that my love lost the light in her eyes
Her voice jut grows colder with every mile
And I know it's all just a matter of time
Cause apologies don't mean the much in the end
There's doubt in this city, and I can't pretend
That she ain't already left in her mind
Go easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to d**h and defeat
Easy on me, easy on me
This ain't what I saw in my dreams
Parliament lives in its own fairytale
The American emba**y looks like a prison cell (mmm)
Go easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to d**h and defeat
Easy on me, easy on me
This ain't what I saw in my dreams
Easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to d**h and defeat
