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 Ray j.
