Retrace Songtext
von Gord Downie

High as an elephant′s eye
Before we even left
And when the party had died
And as we drank the rest
I retrace my steps

Snowy basketball court
Cross the cold courthouse steps
Hanging on every word
Hearing everything you say as
I retrace my steps


I retrace my steps, I wear a lonely path
I retrace my steps and back

Woke up this afternoon
A pale sun in the west
I haven't left my room
I haven′t taken a step
As I retrace my steps

I retrace my steps until no trace remains
And I'll retrace my steps again

I'll retrace my steps
Though I know we′re all saying ′Goodbye'
You know, I′ll retrace my steps again, tonight
Tonight
