My confusion cornered commuters   Are cursing the cold away   As December tries to dissemble   The length of their working day      And they bite their mitts off   To show me transfers, deposit change   And I can't stop finding your face   In their faces all rearranged      And angry like you never were      And I ease us back into traffic   Dusk comes on and I wonder   Why I'm always remembering you   At civil twilight      For the most part I think   About golfing and constantly calculate   All the seconds left in the minutes   And so on, etcetera      Or recite the names of provinces   And Hollywood actors   Oh, Ontario, oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh      But this part of the day bewilders me      Streets slow down and ice over   Dusk comes on and I struggle   To stop, to stop, to stop thinking of you   At civil twilight      Hey, every other hour I pass that house   Where you told me that you had to go   I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack   That I stared at instead of staring back at you      My chance to say something   Seemed so brief but it wasn't   Now I know I had plenty of time      Between the sunset and certified darkness   Dusk comes on and I follow   The exhaust from memory up to the end      At civil twilight   At civil twilight   At civil twilight   At civil twilight
