Canada

Lyrics

Coming home for the Christmas rush But the house is empty Theres a painting on the wall she loves But it's fading like her memory Left a home for an open road Gliding through the red sea Spent a year waking with the birds Quiet filled around me I left my love in Canada Back when we were amateurs in blissful times Let the film unwind, those moments weren't just mine I felt my heart collapse in to The ocean where I left the piece of me that's part of you All these reasons why the timing wasn't right Did I tell you that my daughter's in love Feels like a mirror Though the sea is the great divide It draws her nearer Though I've run to the distant shore My compass points south Every year every passing fall I remember but I'm right on my way now I left my love in Canada Back when we were amateurs in blissful times Let the film unwind, those moments weren't just mine I felt my heart collapse in to The ocean where I left the piece of me that's part of you All these reasons why the timing wasn't right Pain and pride, close the year and drive by Christmas lights, around this time I still think of you But I'm the sky, heart exploding, bright lights Searching, hoping, bright eyed Taking in the view I left my love in Canada Back when we were amateurs in blissful times Let the film unwind, those moments weren't just mine I felt my heart collapse in to The ocean where I left the piece of me that's part of you All these reasons why the timing wasn't right
