What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets
2
Out of work out of money, prospects bleak
3
Now the plane comes down from the morning sky
4
And you touch the land where the fire won't die
5
Johnny, you're home, man
6
It's a long road
7
You drove us down
8
It's only a moment
9
Since the diesels turned
10
Now the blade cuts clean through the island soil
11
The years roll back and the world grows small
12
You stand on the banks in the wind and the rain
13
And all of your money now can't hide this pain
14
So you hold your mother and you bless the air
15
With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael
16
And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky
17
Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes
18
The heath flame is burning bright
19
Burning every night
20
It's winter in Ontario
21
The wheels that turned us village kids
22
Still carry through the heaths
23
They no longer turn for you
