about

There was a certain magic to the area when I worked in Barkerville. This describes some small parts of it.

lyrics

STROMVILLE

At the very end of Stromville over on the 1 mile side
I would say it always hits me there
With the lake off in the distance and the shoulder right beside
Showing track of both the moose and bear

Chorus
Hold it up beyond all reason
Hold it up you summer boy
Hold it up another season sitting in this place of joy
Hold it up from creek to river
Hold it up from tree to tree
Hold it up another season how it got a hold on me

I was singing to the river for to let my troubles go
On the morning of a crazy man
As I looked off in the distance
With the marshes all aglow
It would seem to be a perfect plan

Bridge
Every pick up that is passing has a large dog in the back
You know they must be local - without one it’s a crime
And then a stream of quite hung over folk go rolling to the site
To don their daily costume and travel back in time

Musical Interlude

Every season I am greeted by some 90 days of rain
Smatterings of sunshine and thunder in the sky
Every time I am away from here I want it back again
A regular returnee with lots of reasons why

I hold up

Hold it beyond all reason – hold beyond certain time
Hold it beyond all reason – hold beyond certain time
