Canadian Rose Lyrics

To me this song reminds me of a romance that I had when I was young.

To me the most telling verse is where he says that the town looks rearranged. I think the girl was Canadian from Vancouver but lived in Burlington at some time when he also lived there.

He revisits the town and sees a place where he carved their initials into a tree and it makes him think about all the places he's been since then. And no matter where he goes she's in his head and his heart, and always when he thinks of her he wonders where Vancouver is from there.

Finally, he wraps things up by saying that this moment in time continues to give him hope that he'll one day find something similarly passionate and powerful again.
