about

Single edit from Modern Guitars with Amplification, would have been the fifth single.

lyrics

The first time that I saw you, you were walking down
Canada Way, on a rainy day
I've never seen such pulchritude in this old town
Canada Way on a rainy day

You caught the teardrops from the sky
And you smiled at me as I passed by
Suddenly the storm clouds went away
But I like the rain, so if it's all the same
I'll have it back again
Canada Way, Canada Way

You were lounging on a bench when next we met
Your arms outstretched, just getting wet
And through the pouring rain I saw your silhouette
An elegance I'll not forget

I held my coat above your head
And you looked and laughed at me and said
Oh we don't need to shelter from the rain
'Cause I like the rain, so if it's all the same
I'll have it back again
Canada Way, Canada Way

And I love the way the rain hits the pavement
I love the way it scatters the people
I love the way you pay no attention to those that surround you
I've been waiting all summer won't you
Pay some attention to me

We'll trap the snowflakes from above
And we'll melt their icy hearts with love
Winter, Spring and Summer in a day
But we'll take the Fall, we think it's best of all
It fills our hearts with awe
Canada Way on a rainy day
Canada Way, Canada Way, Canada Way
