Lyrics for Departure Bay by DIANA KRALL:
| | | Artist: | DIANA KRALL |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Departure Bay | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 Id find a love and bring him home
Just get
me there and one we will stay
A long time off and far away
Now we're skimming stones
and
Exchanging rings
We're scattering and diving in departure bay | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
