Written by Madelyn Read

lyrics

Here on the 18th floor in the sky
The people look small as the world goes by
You just arrived now you’re itching to go
But up in the office the world moves slow

You always wanted to live out this dream
Drinking coffee, making money, and leading the team
But anticipation, oh what could be worse?
Giving so much and not knowing your worth

What if you walked out to the blue
And into the street
By chance you should meet
Someone like you
Who needs a break too
With a waltz on Robson Street

Working the late night shift on your own
Thoughts of your kids who just wish you were home
When the sun rises you’ll kiss their sweet heads
Drive them to school and then fall to your bed

When the moon rises you’ll do it again
Care for your children and help others to mend
So many people and so much to do
Giving so much, who’s caring for you?

What if you walked out to the blue
And into the street
By chance you should meet
Someone like you
Who needs a break too
With a waltz on Robson Street

This duality of urban and country is ever present in her music, as she pulls inspiration from Folk/Americana groups like I’m with Her, Joni Mitchell, and First Aid Kit and blends these sounds with lyrics about growing up in an urban centre. ... more
