Tommy Makem — Vancouver lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, my feet are weary on a road that leads to nowhere
And my mind keeps turning backwards evermore
To where misty covered mountains raise their heads into
the heavens
And gaze upon that blue Pacific shore
Vancouver, Vancouver
When I get back, I never more will roam
Vancouver, Vancouver
Vancouver, I’m coming home
Now, there was a pretty girl I knew before I left
Vancouver
And we walked hand in hand by English Bay
And she told me that she loved me when the moon was on the waters
And I promised I’d return to her some day
Oh, I want to walk your hilly streets and on your sandy
beaches
And I want to talk to people who are kind
If this lonesome train keeps rolling, then I’ll see you
in the morning
And maybe then, I’ll get some peace of mind
