There's loon out on the lake Below the evenin's blood red dusk Above the noise of this old chevy I can hear him callin us These four lanes they just anger me But I'm leavin this rat race Gonna take my Yankee girlfriend To another time and place Oh take me back to Canada To the sunlit gold dust on the snow Where the morning sunrise Is filled with silent hope Take me back to Canada to my northern windswept home Where the girl that means so much to me Can share the peace I know. There's a vision in my destiny of the A-Frame by the lake And this sweet girl right beside me it'll take her breath away When we roll down those hillsides Toward that royal blue display I'll bless my gifts forever With my Yankee lover's grace. Oh take me back to Canada To the sunlit gold dust on the snow Where the morning sunrise Is filled with silent hope Take me back to Canada to my northern windswept home Where the girl that means so much to me Can share the peace I know. IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE SOMEONE DO IT ON THE SIDE OF MERCY AND LET TIME SEASON THE RESULTS. |

This shouts of a song, and makes me wonder, what's the tune? Enjoyed the Read. Gloom |

"There's a vision in my destiny of the A-Frame by the lake" Enjoyed Back home there is an A-frame on the lake...I have stayed in it. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
