Em Bm Am Em

Em Bm Am

This spring made winter an insulting opening offer, now the passing lane

is getter harder to negotiate, thawing out and icing up again.

Past the Mint, where a circle of provincial flags

Bm Am

are flagging in the front yard,

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:

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

the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.

Em Bm Am Em

D G C

Steer this boat around the snow plow spray

while the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.
