Canada - Woodes, LANKS

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
