Civil Twilight Lyrics - The Weakerthans

My confusion corner commuters 

Are cursing the cold away 

As December tries to dissemble 

The length of their working day 

And they bite their mitts off 

To show me transfers, deposit change 

And I can't stop finding your face 

In their faces all rearranged 

And angry like you never were 

And I ease us back into traffic 

Dusk comes on and I wonder 

Why I'm always remembering you 

At civil twilight 

For the most part I think 

About golfing and constantly calculate 

All the seconds left in the minutes 

And so on, etcetera 

Or recite the names of provinces 

And Hollywood actors 

Oh, Ontario, oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh 

But this part of the day bewilders me 

Streets slow down and ice over 

Dusk comes on and I struggle 

To stop, to stop, to stop thinking of you 

At civil twilight 

Hey, every other hour I pass that house 

Where you told me that you had to go 

I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack 

That I stared at instead of staring back at you 

My chance to say something 

Seemed so brief but it wasn't 

Now I know I had plenty of time 

Between the sunset and certified darkness 

Dusk comes on and I follow 

The exhaust from memory up to the end 

At civil twilight 

At civil twilight 

At civil twilight 

At civil twilight
