False Creek Change Lyrics
False Creek changed in '86
The year Expo exploited her shores
Its been 22 years laying down bricks
And there's no room for me here anymore
Anymore
There's no room for me here anymore
I made my mark in '84
And born in the month of June
My home at the heart of Charleson Park
Never thought I'd be leaving so soon
So soon
Never thought I'd be leaving so soon
But I watched the walls of Yaletown growing up
Over my mountain view
My old horizon under the cloud
I'll be sad when I'm thinkin'
When I'm thinkin' of you
I'll be sad when I'm thinkin of you
And now all the old men and their boats have gone and I will be leaving too
My little red roof by the old duck pond
I'll be saying farewell
Farewell to you
I'll be saying farewell to you
I'll be saying farewell to you
