The Roads Are Long In Canada Songtext

The roads are long in Canada, You're driving through the night; You're washed in prairie moon and stars, You're bathing in their light And if God in her heaven seems so far away, Well, at least you're assured that you're headed for day, And you're headed for someone who's asked you to stay, and it's right It took a night in Canada To recognize your soul To heal some dark and hollow times With clarity and cold For the deals that you made you bitter and sick, And so trapped in that place where it happened so quick, And so lost without moving, you knew that the trick was to go Racing a distant horizon, you learn what it means to be small; Leaving your plans for an empire, you finally hear your heart's call A silver night in Canada Was what you needed most To show you that your spirit Was more than just a ghost And it's not just the stars, and it's not just the moon, But your car's little engine will get you there soon, And though all of this distance maroons you wherever you roam, You're on your way home And it's not just the stars, and it's not just the moon, But your car's little engine will get you there soon, And though all of this distance maroons you wherever you roam, You're on your way home
