The cornwallis river is drifting bynthe eagles are crying in the autumn sky,nand I'm coming homenand I'm feeling oldnnHere is the house where I lived till I was ninenThere is the overpass, we drank there all the timenKentville's ahead of us and Wolfville's behindnMy hometown is love in a straight linenAnd here my heart lays still, and settles my restless willnSometimes I think I'd rather be back in the valleynnHere is the street of my highschool sweetheart,nAnd here's Ridge Road where I crashed my dads carnNo matter where i go I know I'll never be far fromnThis place that holds me close when I am falling apartnand I'm coming homenand I'm feeling oldnnHere is the school where I used to straynAnd there lived a girl who passed awaynHere's the bus station on a sunny day,nWhere mom and I wept when I moved away
