Lyrics Canada - Woodes, LANKS

Canada

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
