(here you go...)

One
One, two, one, two, three, four

They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on, they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
For those five days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Livin' on nerves and such sweet pain
A loneliness that cuts so fine
Find the face you've seen a thousand times

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
And I know it wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go?
Always gonna hit you by surprise
But I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield headed south
Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
And I know it wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go?
Always gonna hit you by surprise
But I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Great tune!  Arguably the worst guitar solo ever recorded, there in the end, but the rest of it is outstanding



Well now I have to stick around for the end!  edit: Well that was ...something. **Skronk!**
Quintessential Canadian rock.  That's our sound.  

Thanks for sharing this track with the world RP.  These guys are wonderfully talented and woefully unknown beyond our borders.

To get a great sense of who they are as a band and the magic around recording this album, the documentary Lost Together is highly recommended.

wonderful album......thanks for playing.....need to update the band photo....a magical album....cheers...Steve
Thank goodness, I've finally heard Blue Rodeo on Radio Paradise.

Love Blue Rodeo! (yes, I'm Canadian too.) Soundtrack of my life... Couple years ago saw them on the 30th Anniversary Tour of 5 Days in July and it was magic.

(Also -- release date listed is incorrect  -- actually released in 1993!) 
My favourite song from my favourite album. Thank you. Hopefully we hear more Blue in the future 
Great Canadian song and it reminds me of very special memories
good day, eh?
