To say the least, this song is about a day in Vancouver. When you get past the rain, it's kind of the best place to be.
lyrics
A bird flies from the sky
We catch each others eyes
For a moment we are alone from needs
And life could pass us by
A feather drops from wing
As I pick it up it sings
From the sweetest voice, the darkest choice
A question: what future brings?
But it’s been a love to say the least
To say the most I’d talk for weeks
And never ever get the point across
It’s been the world to live this life
And live within the sea to sky
And never ever know the weather whether rain and or sunscreen crossed
But nearest I can see
A city bus for me
And as I jump on board I hear the final chord
A whisper to engines scream
I turn my head to the coast
The softest breast I know
And if I turn up north the mountains teeth are torn
And mirror white currents flow
And if I ever leave this place
It’ll never leave my face
I’d never think of chasing pavement in a place like this
As I cross the parting lips
And enter the dimly lit
I see the tallest trees
In disbelief
At what we have permit
I think of friends they lost at war
I think of friends I’ve lost before
And if the whale had say
In this parks decay
He’d be sure we’d remember it more
But as the lights burn up the street
My painful thoughts they turn and retreat
And never ever could I feel better
In fact it could be worse
I could wake up each day to find
A landscape barren as wasted time
But as I stand on this busy street
I cast this feather to the sea
I’d never think of chasing pavement in a place like this
