The Lost Canadian Lyrics
by Leonard Cohen
A wandering Canadian,
banned from his hearths,
travelled while crying
travelled while crying
in foreign lands.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e64594-leonard_cohen~the_lost_canadian_lyrics.html ]
One day, sad and pensive,
sitting by the flowing waters,
to the fleeing current
he addressed these words:
to the fleeing current
he addressed these words:
"If you see my country,
my unhappy country,
go tell my friends
that I remember them.
go tell my friends
that I remember them.
O days so full of charms,
you have vanished...
And my native land, alas!
I will see it no more.
And my native land, alas!
I will see it no more.
