Matt & Jun - Jackfish Lyrics




Forest grows up and then it burns down
And I am here in a ghost town
Jackpine cones release their seeds
Into the embers on the ground

Jackfish was a little town
Before the people moved on out
And walking amidst the bushes and the trees
I see ruined houses cars and memories

Japanese people were once sent here
To build the highway we hold so dear
There's a skeleton sitting on the tracks
Looks like a lynx or a mountain cat

The railroad spread like ivy vines
The flowers bloomed in their own time
Seasons pass and nothing stays
Flowers rot, the province changed

And here's the sound of a lonely train
Plaintively winding around the bay
I pick blueberries near the rocky shore
Nothing's gone there's only change
Nothing dies there's only change
Nothing dies there's only change
It doesn't have to die there's only change

Nothing's gone there's only change
Nothing dies there's only change
Nothing dies there's only change
It doesn't have to die there's only change
