Come on Down

Jul 23, 2009 22:36

On my trip to Nova Scotia I saw even more things to add to my list, but maybe I'll save those for the next missing-the-maritimes countdown. It was good to be home - far too short - and I've been absolutely exhausted since I got back. Especially since my doctor is an effing moron.  I'll try and give an update here at some point.

Anyway, to sum up, I'm still depressed. And I'm back in BC! I know I've been whining about home a lot, but it's mostly because I miss everybody. However, there are definite pluses to living in BC. Clearly the answer is for you to move out here.

"Why would I?" you ask.

Beautiful British Columbia.

Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

All those rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So, come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
Theres no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You're always afraid
Of a change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

We're coming down to the ground
Theres no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree

Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
We set sail for the sky.

We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down
Coming down to Earth
Like babies at birth
Coming down to Earth
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

We're coming down to the ground
Theres no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
Weve got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We're coming down to the ground
Theres no better place to go
We've got snow up on the mountains
We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
