My, My Vanilla Boy, a song for Canada
My, my vanilla boy
Look at you strolling down the avenue
Wishing for her home by the purlieu
All alone she sits on the bench, you know she's waiting
.
Next to irises of the unforgotten embrace
Next to bluebells of everlasting love and grace
Next to sweet peas of sweet surrender
And next to cyclamens of goodbye, au revoir
In their never ending chants and mantras
.
My, my vanilla boy
To you I have enclosed in this envelope
Not a letter of sincerity, not a note stating kisses
But a whole heart worthy, you see, of chances
.
Chasing dreams, that's what we all do
Chasing planes across the fields, that's what some people like me do
Chasing you, well now, that's a story for another day
It's a story between you and me, just another May
Long gone away in the ides and tears of mine
.
My, my vanilla boy
You could call me hopelessly in love
But drop the clichés right here and now
And ride across the countryside in our landau
.
'cause you know why I ask, s'il vous plaît
I'm crazy for your touch out of bad habit
I'm crazy for your affection day after day
I'm crazy for your devotion, though sometimes you leave my side
My vanilla boy, my raison d'être
.
My, my vanilla boy
C'est la vie, and we part

Note: I might make a song like this someday...
