Lyrics

gabriola november 1973
yes it would snow sometimes
and even stay for a couple of wonderfully quiet days
but mostly it would rain rain rain
and then rain some more
then more
then start raining like it never rained before

gabriola day

the early morning sunshine's
come to chase the night time
the early birds are singing
and i'm singing my song
it's a day for being lazy
and i'm feeling kind of crazy
there's fish in the forest
and trees in the sea

it's good to be back on the island
see the folks i've been missing
i love you all and don't take me lightly
here's a song to let you know

it's a gabriola day
i can feel it in the way
that my heart's going in circles round
the sun in the sky
don't you know it makes me high

there's snow on the meadow
it's falling past my window
living on the farm well
it sure is mellow
sitting round the fire
i can feel me getting higher
love to see you smiling
won't you come visit soon

it's good to be back on the island
see the folks i've been missing
i love you all and don't take me lightly
here's a song to let you know

it's a gabriola day
i can feel it in the way
that my heart's going in circles round
the sun in your eyes
don't you know it makes me fly
