Am I Still Alive? Where Did I Collapse? In Edmonton Alberta, Home In Halifax
Float Me Down The River, To The Mosquidobit Harbour, Cause I'm Gettin Nowhere
______________________________________________________________________________
Then you repeat the entire thing again except the intro under these lyrics:
I Met My Love Down At The Khyber, And We Drifted Through The Crowd, And When I Finally
Beside Her, You Can hear My Heart Out Loud
And When I'm Gone, She'll Never Leave me, Oh No She'll Never be Untrue, And Buddy If You
Believe Me You Don't Believe The Sky Is blue.
Am I Still Alive? Where Did I Collapse? In Edmonton Alberta, At Home In Halifax. Float
Down The River, To The Mosquidobit Harbour, Cause I'm Getting Nowhere
Then There Is A Drum Break and another verse of bass
And If It Feels, Just Like A Toss Up, perhaps It IS, Perhaps it Ain't,
Do you Remember e|---------------------|

I’ve been away and I’ve been travelin’
I’ve been lost, I’ve fucked around
And like a heavy run rounder (?)
Through open fields and prairie towns
I got sick, and I got sicker
And I spent a month in bed
Until the visions came to me quicker
I saw ghosts and I saw land
I saw ghosts and I saw land
Chorus:
Am I still alive where did I collapse?
In Edmonton Alberta or home in Halifax
Float me down the river to the Musquedobit harbor
Because I’m getting nowhere
I met my love down at the Khyber
And we drifted throughout the crowd
And when I finally lay beside her
Oh you could hear my heart out loud
And when I’m gone she’ll never leave me
No no she’ll never be untrue
But if you do not believe me
You don’t believe the sky is blue
You don’t believe the sky is blue
Chorus
And if it feels just like a toss off
Perhaps it is perhaps it ain’t
Do you remember at the sock hop?
Did I dance or did I faint (4x)

repeat same riff for all intro
I’ve been away and I’ve been travelin’
I’ve been lost, I’ve fucked around
And like a heavy run rounder (?)
Through open fields and prairie towns
I got sick, and I got sicker
And I spent a month in bed
Until the visions came to me quicker
I saw ghosts and I saw land
I saw ghosts and I saw land
