Departure Bay |
| The fading scent of summertime |
| Arbutus trees and Firs |
| The glistening of rain-soaked moss |
| Going to the Dairy Queen at dusk |
| Down narrow roads |
| In autumn light |
| The salt air and the sawmills |
| And the bars are full of songs and tears |
| To the passing of the tugboats |
| And people with their big ideas |
| I just get home |
| And then I leave again |
| It’s long ago and far away |
| Now we’re skimming stones |
| And exchanging rings |
| There’s scattering and sailing from departure bay |
| The house was bare of Christmas lights |
| It came down hard that year |
| Outside in our overcoats |
| Drinking down to the bitter end |
| Trying to make things right |
| Like my mother did |
| Last year we were laughing |
| We sang in church so beautifully |
| Now her perfume’s on the bathroom counter |
| And I’m sitting in the back pew crying |
| I just get home |
| And then I leave again |
| It’s long ago and far away |
| Now we’re skimming stones |
| And exchanging rings |
| There’s scattering and sailing from departure bay |
| A song plays on the gramophone |
| And thoughts turn back to life |
| We took the long way to get back |
| Like driving over the Malahat |
| Now a seaplane drones |
| And time has flown |
| I won’t miss all the glamour |
| While my heart is beating and the lilacs bloom |
| But who knew when I started |
| That I’d find a love and bring him home |
| Just get me there |
| And one day we’ll stay |
| A long time off and far away |
| Now we’re skimming stones |
| And exchanging rings |
| We’re scattering and diving in departure bay |
