Aurora

Highway Seven South, Ontario
The campground sleeps beneath the dirty snow
I pulled off in Madoc for a pit stop at the Tim's
To try my hand at rolling rims
Hoping I might catch a glimpse

Of the red-haired girl who came to hear me play
At the Red Lion down in Belleville on a rainy Saturday
I watched her as she waltzed across the floor
And we hung the don't-disturb-sign on the door

Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
Won't you tell me when?
Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
I can see you dance again
Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
Before I leave town tonight
Oh, Aurora, I'll look for your northern light

Her Saturn making rings around the yard
At a little run down one star
Before Bonjour Boulevard
For a month of Sunday evenings we would meet
For some peace down in the valley
Between the polyester sheets

It was heaven having her curled next to me
As the Leafs took down the Blackhawks on a black and white TV
She gave me her number and said to call when I'm around
And I would sing a song for her in every town

Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
Won't you tell me when?
Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
I can see you dance again
Oh, Aurora
Before I leave town tonight
Oh, Aurora, I'll look for your northern light

When I drive by, I feel the wheel pull
But I suspect that she keeps her dance card full
And I'll admit that I keep some company
If I had my way, I'd take her on the open road with me

Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
Won't you tell me when?
Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
I can see you dance again
Oh, Aurora (Aurora)
Before I leave town tonight
Oh, Aurora, I'll look for your northern light
Oh, Aurora, I'll look for your northern light
