Totally agree. Great song. Questions, Burlington is in VT (rather close to Canada). Why is he wondering where Vancouver is? Is he suggesting that is where she lives now? Or did she always live in Vancouver and they met as kids (where her feet didn't reach the ground) in Burlington? I would have thought maybe at summer camp or something, but the Autmn air carries him there, not Summer air. I dunno, any thoughts?
@pinback I had the exact same questions! and Burlington Ontario is still also a continent away from Vancouver, so yeah I guess she moved there? I just assumed "and her feet didn't hit the ground" was indicating she was a petite girl especially compared to his large "ugly American" self John Popper. His songs seem very personal in terms of details, so whatever the reason for "wherever Vancouver is from here" (bout 2K miles away :) he had a reason I guess lol.

The song is referring to Burlington, Ontario a part of the "Greater Toronto Area".
