about

If there has ever been a song written with more of a west coast, Vancouver Island vibe to it than this, I need to hear it.

lyrics

And I stand at the seashore, and I look here for a while
And I ask around if anyone, has seen such a work of art

And I smell the salty air, feel the stinging on my lips
Hear the wind rush as it blows away all my old ideas

And the waves all fall right in, hear them tumble and then splash
See the smiles and then the laughter, of the people as they pass

And the gulls right up above, I watch them as they fly
Hear the sounds that they scream out, like little holes in a silent sky

And I wonder now, Just where this has been all my life
And I realize, What a perfect world we're living in
Just what a perfect world we're living in

In the absence of the clouds, the light will bring us out to play
It’ll shine it’s rays down on us, and make us really see

What is happening to us, when we live our lives inside
And we never stop to look around, or smell the salty air

So I look at all the mountains, the way they climb into the sky
See the mask of all the trees, seem to hide it's face

Still the gulls right up above, I watch them as they fly
Hear the sounds that they scream out, like little holes in a silent sky

And I wonder now, Just where this has been all my life
And I realize, What a perfect world we're living in
Just what a perfect world we're living in
