    Lyrics

    Alberta,
    Remember when
    I held you as the room spun
    At the harvest dance
    You had dreams
    To match my ambition
    The ridge-lines of your body
    Rose beneath my hands
    Oh, kissing slow
    Whispering low
    That we'll never part
    Alberta, you're breaking my heart

    Northern country
    To forge a life
    This oil town's grey and brown
    But there's black gold to grab
    My days are dirty
    Your nights are lonely
    Turned to finding comfort
    In a zip-lock bag
    Baby, are you sober?
    Tried to turn it over
    But it wouldn't start
    Alberta, you're breaking my heart

    Midnight gas stop
    Tryin' to get home
    The card read declined
    Please pick up the phone
    Are you using again?
    Where's the money?
    Did you sell off our promise
    With your beauty?
    Oh, is it just fate?
    Is it too late
    For this frail work of art?
    Alberta, you're breaking my heart
    Alberta, you're breaking my heart

    Alberta,
    Remember when?
    I held you as the room spun
    At the harvest dance
