Em Bm Am Em
Em Bm Am
This spring made winter an insulting opening offer, now the passing lane
Em
is getter harder to negotiate, thawing out and icing up again.
Em
Past the Mint, where a circle of provincial flags
Bm Am
are flagging in the front yard,
Em
tired of trying to make us think that it hasn't always been so hard.
D G C
The sky looks seasick on the boxcar sway,
D Em
where the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.
Em Bm
So the sun pulls me out a bit and lets me go, and I'm a vacuum power cord
(Am) (Em)
in the back of that van full of kids cleaning carpets for the Lord,
Em Bm Am
and I make a little list of sounds I've found have comforted us in the past:
Em
the roar of the rumble strips, and the Mennonite metre of the flood forecast,
D G C
or how the wind strums on those signs that say
D
the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.
Em Bm Am Em X2
D G C
Steer this boat around the snow plow spray
D
while the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.
