pumpkin

Anthony Sweet

This song is dedicated to my van…the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John’s, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.

Oh Pumpkin you have been good to me
my eyes and heart forever opened
You surely took me for a ride

you were a prairie boy
picked up by other prairie boys
you said forget regret
for your life is yours to live

together we journied
through God’s country
wandered among the huskies
were told to live free or watch tv
and this i won’t forget

I’m learning to live fully
in the freedom i’ve been given
where dreams come true
and this is what i’m gonna do
for i’ve made up my mind
