Gordon Downie - Vancouver divorce

What the hell is ^Gthis? You said, "It's art, just fuckin' ^Dmirror it" Where did we go ^Gwrong? If not here, where ^Ado we belong?

In a shot of sun off an airplane far a^Gbove her? In the glint of a foot-burnished manhole ^Acover? In a light, a sign of one kind or a^Gnother? In the gleaming eye of a fighter or a ^Dlover?

Sitting here at the ^GHortons So you know this is impor^Dtant If not here, then ^Gwhere? If not now, then ^Awhen?

When a feather's an immovable ^Gforce? When the stampede's an obstacle ^Acourse? When Ancient Train has hit Ol' Transient ^GHorse? When we're a Vancouver^D divorce?

Now that we've hammered the last ^Gspike And we've punched the railroad ^Dthrough Thought there'd be more to ^Gsay Thought there'd be more to ^Ado

I love your paintings, don't take your colours a^Gway I've grown more fearful of them every ^Aday Swimming up their dark rivers to discover your ^Gsource A source of strange and unrequited re^Amorse And I found the end of the world, of ^Gcourse But it's not the end of the world, of ^Acourse It's just a Vancouver di^Gvorce It's just a Vancouver^D divorce
