Vancouver lyrics

It's snowin' again, they say that it's rare

This hasn't happened in twenty-odd years

But I wouldn't know, I'm newly arrived,

A provisional immigrant tryin' to survive

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver

I'm here 'cause my son can get what he needs

In American schools, he could not succeed

So we packed up our lives

And drove from our home,

Leaving half of a family to make it alone

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver

It's dark when I wake, dark before I sleep

It fosters a feeling I try not keep

(And) now the snow's disappearing

It's raining instead

(And it) it rained all day yesterday and rain lies ahead

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver

But permanent residents shrug off the storms

Just somethin' you do till the city's reborn

When everything's heavenly, a paradise found

But those are the months we won't be around

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver

Blue Vancouver
