Lyrics

Olcott (C) 2024 Davey O., Davey O. Music (ASCAP)

Beautiful evening
Sun setting low
I feel like I’ve nowhere to go
I look ‘cross the water
To Ontario
As the summer winds its way home

[refrain]

There’s millions of stars
I could wish on tonight
But those lights from Toronto
Are shining so bright
They cut through the darkness
And twinkle in my eye
From along that distant shoreline
From along that distant shoreline



All of these seasons
They go by so fast
I don’t remember one day from the last
I look ‘cross the water
To Ontario
Under autumn skies - overcast

[repeat refrain]



[bridge]

I gotta shutter the windows
For another long winter
As that north wind
Blows cold off the lake
When that air hits my skin
I just want to go in
And have a drink 

With the ghosts I can't shake
And have a drink
With the ghosts I can't shake

Spring time is coming
The temperatures rise
The salmon are running
Up the 18 mile
I look ‘cross the water
To Ontario
On this clear day
You can see that skyline
[repeat refrain]
