Ottawa, the Capital

Ottawa, the Capital I see birds flying south, while I'm headed up I'd trade places with them Cause I've gone far enough And I hope the capital is easy on me A wing and a prayer and the hope of a fool It's the blind optimism you lost in your youth And I hope that Ottawa is easy on me Easy on me, easy on me I'm too close to death and defeat I can tell that my love lost the light in her eyes Her voice jut grows colder with every mile And I know it's all just a matter of time Cause apologies don't mean the much in the end There's doubt in this city, and I can't pretend That she ain't already left in her mind Go easy on me, easy on me I'm too close to death and defeat Easy on me, easy on me This ain't what I saw in my dreams Parliament lives in its own fairytale The American embassy looks like a prison cell (mmm) Go easy on me, easy on me I'm too close to death and defeat Easy on me, easy on me This ain't what I saw in my dreams Easy on me, easy on me I'm too close to death and defeat
