about

This song paints a picture of love intertwined with life in the city. Two cyclists cruise through a nighttime neighbourhood, humming tunes, hanging out, and wishing for it to never end... The song is dedicated to Mary Frances Lynch.

lyrics

I’m drawn to you as the moon draws the water
At high tide in the sunshine
Or at night, as dawn turns to day
You’re the star in my sky, it’s no lie
Let’s float through the old Milky Way

Hangin’ with you is like riding a bicycle
Riding in the summer, through the winter and into the spring
You’re a well-oiled chain, it’s no shame
Let’s ride home at the end of night

(CHORUS)
Ride on, ride on.
Ride home at the end of the night
With you by my side
We’ll peddle and glide
And ride to the end of our lives

You’re like a tune that I’ve never gotten sick of
Play it in the evening, through the night and into the day
You’re a melody, it ain’t a felony
To listen to the beat of your heart

You warm me up like a shot of good whiskey
Sip it 'round the fire, under moonlight that shines through the trees
Your spirit, there’s no need to fear it
Though shadows dance all through the night

(CHORUS)
