gord downie – seven matches lyrics
[verse]
she gave me matches
seven wooden matches
she put them into a small, slim gl-ss jar
with a screw-top lid
and i fingered that jar
i put it in my pocket
she said, ‘can’t go into the woods without them’
i smiled at her and left
[pre-chorus]
and i kept them dry
[chorus 1]
and as long as there were six
i’d be fine
as long as there were five
matches in that jar
[post-chorus 1]
mile after mile
on the chick-chick chick-chick sound of the matches
on the memory of her smile
[pre-chorus]
i kept them dry
[chorus 2]
and as long as there were five
i’d be fine
as long as there were four
matches in a jar
[post-chorus 2]
with a screw-top lid
i know she did not mean to hurt my feelings
but that’s what she did
[pre-chorus]
i kept them dry
[chorus 3]
and as long as there were three
i’d be fine
as long as there were two
matches in that jar
