Good News

My brother calls me in distress
Looking for another breath
Say, "I've only got one left in the pack"
Says, "I'm calling from a bloody bed"
Don't worry, I think that's all of it
And death enters

Head back to the house where he said it all went down
The lights are on the ground now
But to tell you the truth out loud
I didn't have the heart to hear the sounds
Death was all around

We don't live there now
We reminisce about the sweet smells
All the ones we tucked in the breast of our blouse
Like deep snow in December, first cigarette of summer
Bannock in the oven

But can you imagine a crowd?
Would you imagine a crowd around you now?
In front of all of the people

My cousins call out in the winter
What I wish I could give them
But there's no pedigree when we're half-breeds
Have you at least heard the good news?
They said we will save you
Death meanders around the room
I have this dream I can't feel anything
I guess it's more a fantasy

But can you imagine a crowd?
Would you imagine a crowd around you now?
In front of all of the people
In front of all of the people
In front of all of the people
