Calgary - Steve Romanoff

There's a faint silver hint of the morning

Where the mountains meet the western sky

And I know from the glow of the dawning sun

There's more to all of this than meets the eye

Once I was a drifter, now I'm a dreamer
And it's here that my dreams were meant to be
So here for a while I miss my dear Prince Edward Isle
For a chance on the plains of Calgary

[Chorus]
So tell all the folks in Alberton
I started coming home and then
In Calgary I found a friend
And took her for my own

And though it isn't right for me
To win the land and lose the sea
I found a home in Calgary
My home away from home

There are times when I'm almost believing
When another weary day is at an end
And a song rolls along on the evening air
I can almost swear I taste your salty wind

As I crawl off to sleep with the memory
Of your green fields in this heart of mine
A dream can go free among the fields of Calgary
Till it finds its way home to the Maritime

[Repeat Chorus]

If they should ask how I'm doin'
I'm doin' fine
If they should ask how I happened to stay
If they should ask say the chance of a lifetime
Stole my heart away

[Repeat Chorus]
