She was a hunter, born down in Winnipeg
And I think i was born to far away
I had never met her, but I dreamed about her everyday
And I always woke up when she told me I could stay
She was canadian, she told me all about her land
How it was filled with hockey players and white winter sand
She was a country child, she was just like me
And she promised that I could kiss her
If I just crossed the atlantic sea.

I got tired of my home town, I got a feeling that i had to go
So I jumped on a dream and suddenly, I was in Toronto
I stopped in for a coffee, where I heard a man who was singing a song
And suddenly it hit me, this is where i belong
And if i meet that girl tonight, I will have nothing else in sight
There is no other place, that I would rather be
And I promised this would be the last time, that i cross the atlantic sea
♪
Oh i've been away.
Oh, now im here to stay
Oh, i've been away to long
Iv'e been trying hard, I just want to be with you over the sea
