Lyrics Marshy Hope - Leona Burkey

There were times under big Alberta skies
I'd find ways find a day to take an early autumn drive
Not for the majesty of the Sisters Three
Pyramid Castle or the beauty of Louise

But for a bend in the road in the valley of the mighty Peace
That took me halfway home to Marshy Hope, Dunvegan you're tricking me
Putting on a show with so much gold
Oranges and all of the yellows in between

But I need the red in the trees
I'm the sanguine heart of my little family
I need the sea pooling round my knees
Maybe more maybe more than you need me

There are times when the fog rolls in at night
You miss the city life, city lights and the days moving easy
You keep your promises and somehow keep mine
On the disappearing edge of our country

Got my hands on the ropes spring tide southwester rolling in
It will bang up the boat it's no joke I'm ready for anything
you're halfway home and it's a marshy hope
That you can settle down and settle in

But I need the red in the trees
I'm the sanguine heart of my little family
I need the sea pooling round my knees
Maybe more maybe more than you need me
