about

Inspired by Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada.

lyrics

I wake up, its early in the morning.
The sun's hitting the trees.
Another day in north Killarney; the smell of pine is in the breeze.
Last night we watched a heavy sun settle.
It turned a mighty red.
I heard a loon sing goodnight neighbour as he was heading to bed.

I've seen the northern lights in Dawson.
Drank Okanagan wine.
I've climbed up the rolling foothills; the Albertan kind.
But its the shallow, cool, clear water that makes it tough to believe in.
There could be any place that's better than ol' Manitoulin.

Head north you'll find Espanola.
East a Saturday song.
Take a lazy southern boat ride on the Chi-Cheemaun.
The 540 will take you westward to Gore Bay and beyond.
Across this mighty limestone island in the Huron pond.

I've driven hard through prairie ghost towns.
I overheated my engine.
And then I spent nearly all my money to get towed out of Dryden.
But its the shallow, cool, clear water that makes it tough to believe in.
There could be any place that's better than ol' Manitoulin.

I've seen Saint Lawrence north and south side.
J'adore la Gaspésie.
I've sang with Levon Acadian Driftwood right through to Tracadie.
But its the shallow, cool, clear water that makes it tough to believe in.
There could be any place that's better than ol' Manitoulin.
