Salem Hill - There's Always Canada Lyrics


Salem Hill Lyrics

There's Always Canada Lyrics
We set to sail last night. It was dark and you were there.
Remember what the old man told us: "The northern sea is angry and cold."
And though our hearts were heavy, to stay was not a choice.

We left you there last night, streaming tears and broken dreams.
we never thought that we could leave you, maybe someday we'll be free
to Join your glorious return to truth. But now there's nothinq there.

Oh Canada, there's always Canada: a shadow of our home
A friendly neighbor but not our own
oh Canada, there's always Canada: A haven in the storm
We'll hang our hats here until the Great Reform.

We watched you drift away, a slow departure from older ways
A creeping fleeing from the spirit of which our children should inherit
Now we see no future, no lessons from the poet.

Long, long ago on a soil that's foreign now
we used to be people with a soul
Passing along to our heirs a legacy
Sound promises of a peaceful home
See where it's gone, nothing but a memory
How could it end? Faded majesty
Your generation led, our generation bled.

We want you back again, Oh Beautiful for Spacoius Skies
And even though you have betrayed us
there is no doubt you were the greatest.
And as we fight to stay warm, we'll wait for your return.
