Journey Through the Past Lyrics

[Intro]
Song without a home

[Verse 1]
When the winter rains come pourin' down
On that new home of mine
Will you think of me and wonder if I'm fine?

Will your restless heart come back to mine
On a journey through the past?
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?

[Verse 2]
Now I'm going back to Canada
On a journey through the past

And I won't be back 'til February comes
I will stay with you if you'll stay with me
Said the fiddler to the drum
And we'll keep good time on a journey through the past

[Outro]
When the winter rains come pourin' down
On that new home of mine
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?
Will I still be in your eyes and on your mind?

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
