      Em                           
This spring made winter an 
          Bm                    
insulting opening offer, now the 
      Am
passing lane
                             Em
is getter harder to negotiate, 
thawing out and icing up again.
Em
Past the Mint, where a circle of 
provincial flags
     Bm                          Am
are flagging in the front yard,
tired of trying to make us think 
        Em
that it hasn't always been so hard.

  The sky looks seasick on the 
  G       C
boxcar sway,
where the Atlantic and Pacific are 
    D                  Em
the very same far away.

       Em                        
So the sun pulls me out a bit and 
                       Bm
lets me go, and I'm a vacuum power 
cord
(Am)                              
  in the back of that van full of 
             (Em)
kids cleaning carpets for the Lord,
      Em                           
and I make a little list of sounds 
                Bm                 
I've found have comforted us in the
     Am
 past:
the roar of the rumble strips, and 
              Em
the Mennonite metre of the flood 
forecast,

D                                 
  or how the wind strums on those 
G          C
signs that say
the Atlantic and Pacific are the 
D
very same far away.

D                            G   
  Steer this boat around the snow
      C
 plow spray
while the Atlantic and Pacific are 
    D
the very same far away.
