The fading scent of summertime<br> | |||
Arbutus trees and firs | Arbutus trees and firs<br> | ||
The glistening of rain-soaked moss<br> | |||
The glistening of rain-soaked moss | Going to the Dairy Queen at dusk<br> | ||

Going to the Dairy Queen at dusk | In autumn light<br> | ||
<br> | |||
Down narrow roads | The salt air and the sawmills<br> | ||

In autumn light | To the passing of the tugboats<br> | ||

<br> | |||
To the passing of the tugboats | The house was bare of Christmas lights<br> | ||
It came down hard that year<br> | |||
And people with their big ideas | Outside in our overcoats<br> | ||
Drinking down to the bitter end<br> | |||
Trying to make things right<br> | |||
Like my Mother did<br> | |||
I just get home and then I leave again | <br> | ||
Last year we were laughing<br> | |||
We sang in church so beautifully<br> | |||
Now her perfume's on the bathroom counter<br> | |||

Now we're skimming stones and exchanging rings<br> | |||
And scattering and sailing from Departure Bay<br> | |||
The house was bare of Christmas lights | <br> | ||
A song plays on the gramophone<br> | |||
It came down hard that year | And thoughts turn back to life<br> | ||
We took the long way to get back<br> | |||
Outside in our overcoats | Like driving over the Malahat<br> | ||
Now a seaplane drones and time has flown<br> | |||
Drinking down to the bitter end | <br> | ||
I won't miss all the glamour<br> | |||

Just get me there and one day we'll stay<br> | |||
A long time off and far away<br> | |||

Departure Bay
The fading scent of summertime
Arbutus trees and firs
The glistening of rain-soaked moss
Going to the Dairy Queen at dusk
Down narrow roads
In autumn light
The salt air and the sawmills
And the bars are full of songs and tears
To the passing of the tugboats
And people with their big ideas
I just get home and then I leave again
It's long ago and far away
Now we're skimming stones and exchanging rings
And scattering and sailing from Departure Bay
The house was bare of Christmas lights
It came down hard that year
Outside in our overcoats
Drinking down to the bitter end
Trying to make things right
Like my Mother did
Last year we were laughing
We sang in church so beautifully
Now her perfume's on the bathroom counter
And I'm sitting in the back pew crying
I just get home and then I leave again
It's long ago and far away
Now we're skimming stones and exchanging rings
And scattering and sailing from Departure Bay
A song plays on the gramophone
And thoughts turn back to life
We took the long way to get back
Like driving over the Malahat
Now a seaplane drones and time has flown
I won't miss all the glamour
While my heart is beating and the lilacs bloom
But who knew when I started
That I'd find a love and bring him home
Just get me there and one day we'll stay
A long time off and far away
Now we're skimming stones and exchanging rings
We're scattering and diving in Departure Bay
