John K. Samson - Longitudinal centre

This s^Empring made winter an insulting opening ^Bmoffer, now the passing lane ^Am is getter harder to negotiate^Em, thawing out and icing up again. ^EmPast the Mint, where a circle of provincial flags are f^Bmlagging in the front yard, ^Am tired of trying to make us think that it ^Emhasn't always been so hard.

^D The sky looks seasick on the ^Gboxcar s^Cway, where the Atlantic and Pacific are the ^Dvery same far away.^Em

So the ^Emsun pulls me out a bit and lets me go, and I'm a ^Bmvacuum power cord (Am) (Em) in the back of that van full of kids cleaning carpets for the Lord, and I ^Emmake a little list of sounds I've found have ^Bmcomforted us in the past^Am: the roar of the rumble strips, and the Mennonite ^Emmetre of the flood forecast,

^D or how the wind strums on those ^Gsigns that ^Csay the Atlantic and Pacific are the ^Dvery same far away.

^D Steer this boat around the ^Gsnow plow ^Cspray while the Atlantic and Pacific are the ^Dvery same far away.
