Kitsilano Lyrics

Wilsen Kitsilano

At twenty-four
They met on the Kitsilano shore
With every turn of his hand she moves
And the river shines

Then warning came
Bend your knees, boy, and go astray
With a whisper in his ear she said
What pulls on you will take me, too

Steady in the stormy
A marker in the making
The shore forgives the tide
Holding in the deep is
Your name between his teeth
The shore forgives the tide

Wasn't it true
That staying near the home that you knew
Was small and weak
But the wiser do, it seems

You always had a way of finding magic in the moment
You always had a way of finding magic in the moment

Steady in the stormy
A marker in the making
The shore forgives the tide
Holding in the deep is
Your name between his teeth
No day so quickly passes
I know the thought of you rings true
And the shore forgives the tide
