Soon I might be going So I wanted you to know It was Christmas in the Rockies Just like summer with no snow The Crimson Pirate was showing at the movies A new one you should see The water shone like diamonds And the ships kept rowing on the sea The answer to our questions Is lingering in the mist And the revolution's coming Like a fighter with a fist Soon I might be going So I wanted you to know The sun’s sure hot today in Canada And wherever people go They’re looking at the sky Like they're waiting for a change The clouds that used to pour the rain Are billowy and strange Yeah, that's the way I see it And I wanted just to say People like you and me are feeling Different every day The president was on TV And says everything is golden But he's tearing down the old White House And those days were never olden The bears are trying to hibernate But can't find where to go ‘Cause everything is different now Just like a TV show We have to take it as it comes As some are like to say But you know and it seems to me That's not what's right today I miss you like tomorrow And I see you like today I wanted to say something Before I go away I went to town the other day And saw what it's become The houses are all going down With hotels all around People are driving their new cars And the kids are leaving town Shopping is everywhere And the club is shutting down Soon I might be going And I wanted just to say If I'm not here to see it Doesn't mean it's gone away I'll try to make it simple But I tell you if it's not 'Cause here and there and everywhere The truth is getting caught And disguised like a celebration Waiting for a song But no one knows the melody And it feels like it was strong When we all sang together And the children sang along Yeah soon I will be going But I wanted just to stay around And see what I can do To sing a happy song today With you and you and everyone Who feels the melody Echoing in the hallways And soon to be a dream Come back to me my lovely girl Your memory is mine I'm walking down the old street Where we once, had the time I've got to tell you what I see 'Cause I might be alone The sky is turning to yesterday The old church bells toll Soon I might be going And I wanted to say hello There’s a mystery around us And the answer no one knows It's like summer in the Rockies But it's almost Christmas Day Summer in the Rockies Almost Christmas Day Summer in the Rockies Summer in the Rockies
