Текст песни: Where I Belong + перевод

Ginny said good-bye this afternoon

As far as I can tell

She can’t bear the good-bye evenings

Or the morning afters of farewell

She says, «Here you are another one to whose back I’m saying cheers.

It’s like a death in the family and it’s been going on for years.»

And so I’ll cast my leaving shadow

And I’ll be Canadian

But distance won’t decide what matters

To the Hard Rock’s loving son

And when I’m thinking of St. John’s

I’ll bring her closer with a song

I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I belong

Don’t get the old man started

Or I’ll have to hide him from the rum

If we can keep his mind from '49

He’ll keep having fun

Oh, it’s not the kids he’s cursing

Though I’m his third to leave

He’s mad at Mr. Smallwood

And it’s a parent’s right to grieve

So let’s take a moment’s silence for our dear departed souls

Let’s fly our flags at half their mast

As another young man goes

The laughter of the children

Supplanted by the rolling ghosts

Another tide surrenders

To a far and foreign coast

I told Mom I’d stay closer to the cousins

Who beat the path from our front door

One right after the other and they won’t be back no more

But the thing I think I fear the most

She whispered in my ear

Is being the last flower in the garden

With no one left to care
