Crash Test Dummies - Winter Song lyrics

I can't say that I miss my old dog much And I've never looked back since I left home long ago But I hoped a trip into the country Would help remind me all the things I used to know That's what I came for That's what I hoped for There once was good blood in the breeze here We rode across the lake each new year What have I remembered What did this used to be The ice, it used to shine upon our river It was a mirror that the cold dark water ran way deep beneath And here were many years of winter drownings I kept track of these things as they were told to me And that's what I looked for That's what I came for... The changes of the year were once a blessing Well this year they're the seasons of my discontent But I cannot rewrite my old diaries I can only recall all the things that came & went But that's what I'd come for And that's what I'd hoped for...
