George Canyon - Scotia Home lyrics

rate me

Well I left my home in a Scotia town

Moved out west where I'd be found

Dreamin' well I'm dreamin'

Well I never thought my life would change

Always thought it'd be the same

But leaving I'm still believing

That childhood dream I'll have someday

Slowly starts to fade away

I'm seeing

So very close I could almost taste

Seems those years have been a waste

Decieving it's been decieving

Time has past but I still feel

The ocean breeze it seems so real

I'm hoping, just hoping

Someday soon if it all works out

Nova Scotia is where I'm bound

Believing, I'm still believing

I'll hear the waves against the shore

Seagulls cries at the fishing warf

I'm hearing

The mackerel runs and the dory boats

The simple ways I love the most

I'm dreamin' just dreamin'

I see her when I close my eyes

The Scotia land I once despised

Longing, just longing

It's been ten years or more it seems

But I've still got my memories

I'm holdin', just holding

Through the years I've wondered why

The grass seemed greener on the other side

But I'm learning

When I set my feet on that Scotia ground

Then I know I've surely found

The meaning, the meaning

Well it don't matter where I go

'Cause in my heart my Scotia home is waitin'

Just waiting

Good Lord knows I regret the day

I packed it up and moved away

But someday, maybe somday

I'm dreaming just dreaming

Believing I'm still believing

Lord I'm hoping, I'm hoping

Yeah believing, I'm still believing
