happy birthday, my beloved home

Happy Canada Day!!!!

Although this isn't Canada's national anthem, it reminds me so much of my country and of campfires in the summer( and it drives my brother-in-law insane...once you've heard it, you can't get it out for a minimum of two days, like some crazy-ass patriotic chant. Your brain happily sings away while you are trying to sleep....Double bonus.)

Silver Birch

Land of the silver birch home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore, Iwill return once more.
Boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom, Boom-diddy-boom-boom, bo-oo-oom
High on a rocky ledge I'll build my wigwam,

Close by the water's edge, silent and still;

Blue lake and rocky shore,I will return once more.
Boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom, Boom-diddy-boom-boom, bo-oo-oom
My heart grows sick for thee here in the lowlands

My heart cries out for thee, hills of the north;

Blue lake and rocky shore,I will return once more.
Boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom, Boom-diddy-boom-boom, bo-oo-oom
Land of the silver birch, home of the beaver,

Where still the mighty moose wanders at will;

Blue lake and rocky shore,I will return once more.
Boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom, Boom-diddy-boom-boom, bo-oo-oom
Boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom, Boom-diddy-boom-boom, bo-oo-oom
