From the recording The Grand Voyage
Lyrics
Madhouse Promenade
Karine Ste-Marie, 2016
It’s cold in my bed
Colder in my head
My mind’s taking flight
In this frozen antarctic night
I can’t see the moon
The sun won’t set too soon
Desolation complete
Despair so bittersweet
Oh now won’t you take me away
Oh bring back my thoughts as they stray
Join me in my madhouse promenade
Come save me from myself, from my facade
Take me, hold me just don’t let me roam
Be my shelter, I’ll make you my new home
The wind blows real fast
It purifies the past
I’ve got you in sight
Everlasting polar night
My skin burns inside
Icebergs floating through my mind
Come sing me to sleep
Your breath upon my cheek
Oh now won’t you take me away
Oh bring back my thoughts as they stray
Chorus
And you think I’m crazy
Running in circles, they say
And you think I’m crazy
I’m scared, I’m going insane
Chorus
