The reasons keep changing But my heart stays true So when the spring turns into summer I expect it to And when I fall back into winter I am blue, so then I wonder Am I a bit under the weather? Seasons arranging themselves in line Somehow I find myself Surprised by this every time Well you think I’d be expecting what Is following behind, so then I figure That I am victim to the weather again I am victim to the weather I am victim to the weather Pull myself together again I’ll pull myself together again Maybe if the planets would align And the stars continue to shine I’d see that I… That I changing But my heart stays true So when the spring turns into summer I expect it to And when I fall back into winter I am blue, so then I figure That I am victim to the weather again I am victim to the weather I am victim to the weather Pull myself together again Pull myself together again Pull myself together Again...

Build a Boat 04:34
All my cares and all my dreams Are nothing more than a mystery to me Well I will throw myself into the sea And I will build a boat on hopes and dreams So my prayers, yes they will stay Unanswered to this very day All my cares and all my dreams They are nothing more than a mystery to me Thoughts are soaked with possibility And they are overcome by reality So my friends, yes they will clearly see That I am nothing more than a hopeful dream All my cares and all my dreams They are nothing more than a mystery All my cares and all my dreams They are nothing more than a mystery to me I will throw myself into the sea And I will build a boat on hopes and dreams All my cares and all my dreams They are nothing more than a mystery All my cares and all my dreams They are nothing more than a mystery to me

Ocean 03:15
Nestled away on an island that sits On the west coast of Canada There lives a girl with a mother That means all the world to her When she smiles Lyla’s her name And the ocean is found In between all of her sunny days Paradise lay on the coast of the bay Mother Nature she whispers her name Lyla Ocean You are my potion For making me feel Much better for now Lyla, you look at me With those blue eyes And I’m safe and sound Nestled away Heading into the bay Where I drove through the hills Searching for this small town Where love can be found And as I look around All the sights and the sounds They call out her name Lyla Ocean You are my potion For making me feel Much better for now Lyla, you look at me With those blue eyes And I’m safe and sound

On a plane that’s on a trip ‘Cross the country where I live I had to go to see the rest Towards the coast put to the test The other side was good to me Two feet in water’s where I’ll be When this map points left for me Well, I’ll look down to see There are no clouds over Saskatchewan? There are no clouds over Saskatchewan! I dare not fall towards the ground No pillows down there for me now This land it weaves a coloured quilt With patterns laid out town to town A miracle to fly so high To see this country from the sky When this map points left for me Well, I look down to see There are no clouds over Saskatchewan? There are no clouds over Saskatchewan! No clouds over Saskatchewan There are no clouds over Saskatchewan! (No clouds over Saskatchewan No clouds over Saskatchewan!)

To the Blue 02:45
You are discovering now That our time apart will drown Into all the rivers you've found Draining to the blue You are just figuring out What our time togethers about Through all the words we share Floating through the air It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through the day with you As we drive for miles and miles Learning how each other smile And we talk of the weather awhile And somehow, I'm blue It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through the day with you You are discovering now That our time apart will drown Into all the rivers you've found Draining to the blue It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through It's the silence that gets me through the day with you

I Know 02:25
You were waiting for me Down the neighbourhood street And I didn’t show So you will be mine Only in my mind I know You were waiting in line As the show began And you watched the screen alone So you will be mine Only in my mind I know I never know Where to start, where to end Maybe this goes to show Maybe this goes to show That you will be mine Only in my mind I know.

Every man must find his/her way It’s not a simple price to pay Going through your day today Every man must find his/her way With one foot in And one foot out Of the water, oh so cold You will find you can’t live without One foot in and one foot out... Every man must find his/her way It’s not a simple price to pay Going through your day today Every man must find his/her way Whether you’re a millionaire Or you’re living on the streets, Somewhere, You will have to pay the fare Of finding your own way... Every man must find his/her way It’s not a simple price to pay Going through your day today Every man must find his/her way

In this world love will always be Holding on to all we cannot see Let it live longer than you and I In this world true love will never die And all I want is you To make this dream come true All I want is you All to myself. The love I have for you is yours alone Keeps me company while you are gone Let it live forever just the same In this world true love it will remain And all I want is you To make this dream come true All I want is you All to myself. All I want is you To make this dream come true All I want is you All to myself.

Yoko spread around ashes today Now man’s nature walk is another man’s grave Beside the park is the home where they stayed It’s where they found love in the air each day I met you walking down the aisle I fell to my knees and I said “I Do” First time in a while… Then I could feel the earth tilt to my side These flowers were fake But the words were real And they made you cry Wherever you go That’s where I’ll be If you will spend this life with me Where will we go... She held my hand as it began to rain As day turned to night I started to feel my luck change This beautiful girl defines my most beautiful days And I’ll pour you some wine Passing the time, here’s what I will say: Wherever you go That’s where I’ll stay Play me a tune, I’ll sing you a song, It’s better this way Wherever you go That’s where I’ll be If you will spend this life with me Where will we go… Wherever you go That’s where I’ll be If you will spend this life with me Where will we go?

Give me your heart And I will give you mine too Show me a sign That I can spend my time with you Something is changing in me All I can think of is you. (You) Share with me once again A smile with open arms Because I’ve gone so far away To understand what they are With all of these changes I see rearranging in me And all I can think of is you. (You) Give me your heart And I will give you mine too Whether or not It grows And follows these changes I see rearranging in me All I can dream of is you (All I can dream of is you) (All I can dream of is you) (All I can dream of is you)

I’m so sad to see you go Although you have to sail away You’ll be coming back, I know And I’ll see you again, someday We knew it all along The Grand Old Lady sets her sails today But still I sing this song To wish her well along the way Even at the end I’d do it all again This house it is a home to me now I’m sad to see you go But I’ll see you again, somehow Well I thought I heard her say “We’re all the way up in Heaven now” These ghosts they tend to stay Once the show starts they dance around Lights down, a dimming glow A note of rest, the seams will start to fray You’ll be prettier, I know, But in your hair I like the greys Every now and then I say Goodbye to a friend But this time it is more than a few To the love of my life In my joy and my strife I know that I will marry you soon… Thank you for the show! As I stand and we applaud your grace I’m so sad to see you go But I’ll see you again, someday, I’ll see you again someday.

"Thanks to my family and friends, my foes and my fears. Special thanks to the lovely Lyla Ocean and to the flight over Saskatchewan for inspiring the songs written while I was on the road.

Thank you (forever) to The Grand Old Lady, you brought me the love of my life and the best 4 minute performance I'll ever have on any stage.

And lastly, thank you to the trains, planes and automobiles that took me across the great Canadian landscape to inspire the making of this album. As you listen to the album, you travel with me from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean (and there's literally a recording of the waves from the shores of Cape Breton) Enjoy the journey."

Thank you for your ears, your time and your generosity.
