Lyrics

Canadian Cowboy
Fall to me
Slip your arms around my waist
Let me have a little taste
Of your worried lips of cigarettes

You're a stranger
A young man in disguise
Of a man old and wise
Old and wise and worn to tears
Only the prettiest kind

Canadian cowboy
You're pulling my mind

New love
Even if love's not the name
New love
Even if it’s not the same
What a lovely game
What a lovely game

You search me
With your blue-gray eyes
Tell me what is left inside
This house that feels so dry
This shell of a man

Don't look back
Envy me let me envy you
Let's grin in green and gold
If just for now that's all
You fell to me

Canadian cowboy
You're pulling my mind

New love
Even if love's not the name
New love
Even if it’s not the same
What a lovely game
What a lovely game

Can't you see
I'm dripping with your words
Fall like kisses to my skin
Colors etched into my grin
That don't even begin to spin this long cave around

Follow me
Would you follow me one day?
Let's walk a pretty path
We'll pick flowers from a bath
Of colors all around

Canadian cowboy
You're pulling my mind

New love
Even if love's not the name
New love
Even if it’s not the same
What a lovely game
What a lovely game
