You feel familiar But I'm not sure I know your name I don't know why I'm telling you this story today A whisper on the breeze I heard a rustle in the trees I need to know and maybe you'll explain Why I can't stop crying And nothing is as it appears I can't stop crying But I'm crying someone else's tears Someone else's tears The grapes are gathered The wine is pressed And despite the rain it's been a good year To walk these fields again In the chapel of our youth we bowed down to beauty and truth I see no reason but maybe you'll explain Why I can't stop crying But I'm crying someone else's tears Someone else's tears The red house that we built... It's still standing... proud The glasses that we filled... Let's raise them now It might be raining But the sun is gonna burst through the clouds The storm it can be stilled... Let's go out... But I can't stop crying As I'm crashing through the gears I can't stop crying But I'm crying someone else's tears Someone else's tears I can't stop lying Have I been lying all these years? I can't stop trying To chase away her fears I can't stop crying, crying, Someone else's tears

This is my life and it's my right to live The way I want to live each day That's what I wanna say And this is my song And for too long I sang someone else's melody It wasn't really me Somehow I took myself for granted In someone else's eyes I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes You were the sun, I was the one who just Revolved around you day and night You were my only life but if I were free Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me Find who I wanna be I'd never take myself for granted In someone else's eyes I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized I can't love you, I can't love me in someone else's eyes I gotta show myself I can still exist without a man Gotta finally take control, gotta see myself as whole with you Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name And I'll never be the same till I find a way back home again In someone else's eyes I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized When I, I can't, I and I will not, you can't make me Ooh, someone else's eyes, ooh, baby, baby, baby Till I find a way back home again Through someone else's eyes I saw reflections of a girl I was, hey, caught me by surprise Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized I can't love you, I can't love you through someone else's eyes, ooh Someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it I, I love you, sweet baby, I wanna be with you, baby Through someones else's eyes, ooh Someone else's eyes, oh, baby Oh yeah, someone else's eyes I wanna be by your side God haven't you heard this lady's cry?

I'm standing at a window I'm pressed against the past I'm looking on in black and white Through the eyes of photographs And I'm falling into faces Cultivated smiles Two dimensional Je me souviens Canada Out of Gastown in the morning On a train in '69 Into the arc-weld of the rising sun We left the coast behind And the wheels rolled in a rhythm And I heard in them for the first time The endless song of traveling out of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada Through the dog-days of the prairies The boundless sky above our heads My stepfather looked for Mounties In the streets of Winnipeg And he told them that my mother's love Had stole his heart away And we all stood there Posed for Polaroids of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada I awoke wrapped in my mother's arms On the docks of Montreal The ships lit like Christmas And the moon a swollen ball When a sailor spoke of England I'd never felt so small I waited until the ocean Turned from emerald to grey The wind threshed the water And washed our wake away And the seagulls blew like words Back to the mouth of the St. Lawrence As we sailed out On The Empress of Canada Oh Canada The longest road I've known Paved with the kind of broken hearts That lead to broken homes Looking backwards I remember The cracks in all the paving stones And the distances I've traveled out of Canada The first country of my youth My heart was ever drawn to you Like a tongue to a broken tooth In a world where everyone was always leaving I was trying to keep my fingertips On Canada
