I don't know these people anymore
And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
And I almost can feel the same
And she would call me her ugly American
If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile
I run my fingers through the weathered carving
And my heart beats so hard we were in so close
And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
Where I once carved a particular name
And at least they still have this certain table
And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here
And I would call her my Canadian flower
And she called me her ugly American
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
Passionately springs in me and all things are possible
We had such power
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
And she called me her ugly American
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
Where her feet didn't reach the ground
And still it feels so slow
To a square in the center of town
As I ponder what my pilgrimage means
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
And I would call her my Canadian flower
And she would call me her ugly American
And I would call her my Canadian flower
We had such power
And her skin smells of cider and rose
And when she looked at me we both got quiet
Six hundred miles an hour
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
From the way it was before
I'm tryin' to get back to Burlington
And she called me her ugly American
We had such power
And she would call me her ugly American
We were in so close
To a spot on a wooden table
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
At least it seemed that way
Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day
We were in so close
And I listen to the leaves
But in the best ways not much else has changed
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
