B.C Hills...2023 edit
Every time longing for you, I'd dream, what would have been?
Together in a Nappers' cabin, in our North Ontario scene
I flew on a plane of loneliness ‘cross rocky mountain lines
While rain fell for a first love left behind
From a landings' trip in Kelowna to a Kamloops winding drive
Thought about us in the sunset, couldn’t get you off my mind
While lookin’ to evergreen and sittin’ by a fire,
Ol’ Feelings well then turn to smoldering twilight pyres
While, I’m up n’ down the B.C hills, from peaks to valleys
All the time
Rippling Clear Lake memories in my North-Ontario mind
North-Ontario Mind
Autumn leaves have fallen, winter mountain-winds blow in
Fading love reminders, I will not see you again
Together for a short while, thought we’d last a million years. Now, I ride the
Coquihalla, hauling memories in rearview mirrors
Yeah, I’m all alone and wondering, who my faith’s in, what my future’s all about…
As I gaze into the embers burning out
Ripplin’ reminders in the Shuswap on Eagle Bay
Shuddering, while Hawks shrill to me,
Through a North-Ontario haze -
While I’m up n’ down the B.C hills,
From peeks to valleys all the time
Rippling Clear Lake memories
In my North-Ontario mind
North Ontarian mind
Let’s have a drink to a memory
Have one more for you n’ me
In my North-Ontario mind
