Lyrics
Soon I might be going, so I wanted you to know
It was Christmas in the Rockies, just like summer with no snow
Crimson Pirate was showing at the movies, new one you should see
Water shone like diamonds and the ships kept rowing on the sea
The answer to our questions is lingering in the mist
And the revolution's come like a fighter with a fist
Soon I might be going, so I wanted you to know
The sun's sure hot today in Canada, wherever people go
They're looking at the sky like they're waiting for a change
The clouds that used to pour the rain are billowy and strange
Yeah, that's the way I see it, and I wanted just to say
People like you and me are feeling different every day
President was on TV, says everything is golden
He's tearing down the old White House, those days were never olden
The bears are trying to hibernate but can't find where to go
'Cause everything is different now just like a TV show
We have to take it as it comes, as some are like to say
But you know, and it seems to me, that's not what's right today
I miss you like tomorrow and I see you like today
I wanted to say something before I go away
I went to town the other day and saw what it's become
The houses are all going down with hotels all around
People are driving their new cars and the kids are leaving town
Shopping is everywhere and the club is shutting down
Soon I might be going, and I wanted just to say
If I'm not here to see it, it doesn't mean it's gone away
Trying to make it simple, but I tell you, it's not
'Cause here and there and everywhere, the truth is getting caught
And disguised like a celebration waiting for a song
But no one knows the melody and it feels like it was strong
When we all sang together and the children sang along
Yes, soon I will be going, but I wanted just to stay around
And see what I can do to sing a happy song today
With you, and you, and everyone who feels the melody
Echoing in the hallways, and soon to be a dream
Come back to me, my lovely girl, your memory is mine
I'm walking down the old street where we once had the time
I gotta tell you what I see 'cause I might be alone, the sky is turning
To yesterday; the old church bells tolled, soon I might be going
And I wanted to say hello, there's a mystery around us
And the answer no one knows
It's like summer in the Rockies, but it's almost Christmas day
Summer in the Rockies, almost Christmas day
Summer in the Rockies
Summer in the Rockies
It was Christmas in the Rockies, just like summer with no snow
Crimson Pirate was showing at the movies, new one you should see
Water shone like diamonds and the ships kept rowing on the sea
The answer to our questions is lingering in the mist
And the revolution's come like a fighter with a fist
Soon I might be going, so I wanted you to know
The sun's sure hot today in Canada, wherever people go
They're looking at the sky like they're waiting for a change
The clouds that used to pour the rain are billowy and strange
Yeah, that's the way I see it, and I wanted just to say
People like you and me are feeling different every day
President was on TV, says everything is golden
He's tearing down the old White House, those days were never olden
The bears are trying to hibernate but can't find where to go
'Cause everything is different now just like a TV show
We have to take it as it comes, as some are like to say
But you know, and it seems to me, that's not what's right today
I miss you like tomorrow and I see you like today
I wanted to say something before I go away
I went to town the other day and saw what it's become

Summer in the Rockies, almost Christmas day
Summer in the Rockies
Summer in the Rockies
