Canadian Sunset
The Embers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So lonely and then
You came, out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on that ski trail
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew when the sun set
From that day, we'd never ever part

Once I was alone
At one point, I was by myself
So lonely and then
Feeling isolated and disconnected
You came, out of nowhere
Unexpectedly, you entered my life
Like the sun up from the hills
Your presence was like the rising sun over the horizon
Cold, cold was the wind
The frigid wind was blowing
Warm, warm were your lips
Your lips were warm to the touch
Out there, on that ski trail
In the outdoors, on a ski path
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
Your kiss brought excitement and pleasure to me
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
I planned a trip to Canada to experience something different
Was the most I bargained for
I did not expect anything more from my trip
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
But then I met you and saw something special in your gaze
I found the love that I couldn't ignore
I fell in love with you and couldn't deny it
Down, down came the sun
The sun began to set
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
My heart began to race with excitement
I knew when the sun set
At that moment, I knew
From that day, we'd never ever part
That we would never be apart from that day forward

I saw the Embers at the Virginia Pork Festival in Emporia, Va a couple times. Great band and great memory. Bought the 25th Anniversary album after the first time.

The BEST song!!
@dinibell
While not the version of the song that I was looking for, I must say that this is a lovely rendition. Great vocals, and the vibe is perfect for a breezy summer evening.
@luckyvet
I honestly thought I was listening to the BeeGees the first 5 seconds in. Awesome solid gold version.
