lyrics

The city taught me how to be alone, the city taught me how to love my lonely soul.
The city taught me how to get real stoned so you better believe that there ain't no hard feelings when I say,
I'm leaving Vancouver, leaving my tree lined street
Leaving where I first met her, saw her face in the bark on the trees
mmmm
Sunshine, flickering in the wind on a maple leaf,
Yea you taught me where to begin, now you're showing me my sweet reprieve.
Sunshine, flickering in the wind on a maple leaf,
If I don't jump belly first, who's gonna take the risk for me?

I said if I could I would, hop a train to be with you.
Not quite believing my soul, that it was something I might do.
But now I'm sitting here with tickets in the palm of my hand,
and I'll be at your front door looking for someone to stand next to.

All the while you were holding it down, by yourself in that lonely town
You said you'd make a place for me to stay
and I could help you, get away
we're leaving that shelter,
our temporary home
heading out to the wilderness with only our skin and bones
Sunshine, flickering in the wind on a maple leaf,
yea you taught me where to begin, now you're showing me my sweet reprieve
Sunshine flickering in the wind on a maple leaf,
if we don't jump belly first who's gonna take the risk for we.
