Renmin Park (revisited) Lyrics


Meet me on the banks of the Yangtze, Suzie
Beneath the glare of the New-West Yard
We'll watch the barges cart away
The waste of another day
We'll watch the barges cart away
The waste of another day
Meet me in the middle of Renmin Park
Where the stone bridge meets the pond
We'll watch the ducklings gobbling bread
And the stealth of the approaching swan
We'll watch the ducklings gobbling bread
And the stealth of the approaching swan
Listen for the song of the propane seller bouncing off the walls
A kiss before the morning knows I'm gone
A kiss before the new day finds me gone
Listen for the song of the propane seller drifting through our dreams
You at the end of your sky and me in the corner of my sea

His morning cry a promise to you from me
His morning song a blessing on you and me
Meet me on the steps of Gu Xian Temple
Where the old ways greet the dawn
We'll watch the darkness leach away into the haze of another day
We'll watch the darkness leach away into the haze of another day

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
