lyrics

The artist parades at his lowly charade – through the streets he sweeps neatly
With purpose that captures the work of the masters – his brush moves and so proves
That the Street sweeper knows that new metal is soon to rust
The Street sweeper knows that the ending for all is dust

He renders his beauty with brush strokes of duty – in laneways with dirt grays
And frames with his being a sight beyond seeing – so tender, remember
The Street sweeper knows that new metal is soon to rust
The Street sweeper knows that the ending for all is dust

All furtive and stooped low he blends in the shadow – as graceless and faceless
THE street scene is done with the turn of the sun – while forgiving the living
Chorus 3
For the Street sweeper knows that new metal is soon to rust
The Street sweeper knows that the ending for all……………………….. is dust

about

Naming The Twins Shelburne, Nova Scotia

Naming the Twins is the Nova Scotia based guy gal duo of Robbie Smith & Kath Glauser who sound a little bit like Peter, Paul and Mary if one of the fellows took the night off, a bit like Simon & Garfunkel if Art was a girl, a bit like Gordon Lightfoot or Stan Rogers if either had a girl harmonizer.
Not twins by birth, but twins at heart, they share a sibling like sense of humour and harmony.
