A Thomson Day [for Tom Thomson] lyrics

I was standing by the West Wind

Standing there amazed

At how the whitecaps rolled

And the pine tree swayed

And it moved me in a way

I can't find the words to say

It was a Thomson day

Sometimes I forget the world of people and things

And get lost in a place where wildness is king

Let the waves roll

Soothe my soul

While the west wind blows

Every fish that's in the water

Every eagle in the sky

Flying high

Every tree and every dragonfly

Says "I'm alive!"

I may not be here forever, but I'm here today

That's okay

It's nature's way

But at this very moment I am carried away

In a Thomson day

In a Thomson day

In a Thomson day
