‘Vancouver Weather’

I did not save the pieces
I could have saved the pieces

I still have the vase in gold
I still have one vase to hold

You were the musical one
You were the devoted son

One firebird, one feather
Rainy North Vancouver weather

Sad that I’m not there with you
Sad that I’m not there

You were the musical one
You were the beloved son

A photo of your mother
In the snow with umbrella

You are the brother with grace
Steady like a six-string bass

You are the musical one
You are the beloved son

Christmas present in the post
Birthday present in the post

Sad that I’m not there with you
Soon I will be there

Play a British prog-rock tune
Play a new wave goth-pop tune
