False Creek Change - Said The Whale

False Creek changed in '86

the year Expo exploited her shore

It’s been twenty two years laying down bricks

and there’s no room for me here any more, any more

there’s no room for me here anymore

I made my mark in '84

Born to the month of June

My home at the heart of Charleson Park

I never thought I’d be leaving so soon, so soon

Never thought I’d be leaving so soon

I’ve watched The Walls of Yaletown

growing up over my mountain view

My old horizon under the clouds

I’ll be sad when I’m thinking of you

I’ll be sad when I’m thinking of you

Now all the old men and their boats have gone

and I will be leaving too

My little red roof by the old duck pond

I’ll be saying farewell to you

I’ll be saying farewell to you
