A Land of Endless Snow

 I was walking through the wood

Reflecting on the misty memories of yesterday

And around me the spirits of my past stood

Until now, I had chased them away

It’s funny how such a small thing

Will retrieve emotions from before

And how silently they bring

An image of your face once more

Did you ever find what you sought in the northern land?

We parted so long ago my friend

How did you so quickly forget the touch of my hand?

You left me without a word, without an end

And here I am again hearing your voice on the breeze

Wishing to hear it forever, and yet never again

How the time around us does fly and flee

It’s been so long, but I still can’t pretend

That your promise of friendship meant nothing to me

That I didn’t feel a spark when our eyes met

That from you I am free

Though I try, I can’t forget yet

I hope that you have the greatest of love

That your life is full of happiness

Oh silly Canadian from the land above

I hope you are nothing but blessed

So leave me, dear one, in peace tonight

We said our true goodbyes so long ago

I close my eyes standing here in the twilight

And dream of a wood cutter and a land of endless snow
