Port Colborne

(álbum: The Compass Project - East Album - 2023)

He was the goodbye kind, all the way
He swore he'd die for her, but he said goodbye anyway
You know a Port town rain, falls most of the year
And it's a sunshine world, but she'll be all right right here

She's gonna walk these streets with her little man
'Cause the playground's empty

And it's a dirty little town, Port Colborne is
There's not a lot of places cold as this
As the rent goes up while the sun goes down
On a sad and heartbreak harbour town
And she loves him, she loves him

She's got her pretty young hands in a goodwill bin
She's got an eye for a bargain, she keeps the other on him

She wonders who's gonna love them two for one
And make the rain stop falling

'Cause it's a dirty little town, Port Colborne is
There's not a lot of places cold as this
As the rent goes up while the sun goes down
On a sad and heartbreak harbour town
And she loves him, she loves him

Then one day he came off the waves
Just like that, three souls were saved
Nobody heard them fall in love
While watching the tugboats push and shove
The past is swept away with the waves
Like her heart was

And it's a dirty little town, Port Colborne is
There's not a lot of places cold as this
And the rent goes up while the sun goes down
On an ever-changing harbour town
And he loves them, he loves them
He's gonna love them
