Christopher Songtext
von Rheostatics

On a cold road
Somewhere in the south of Ontario
There′s a crackle in the air
As they're putting up the very last telephone pole
Now I′m standing here
Where my grandfather stood
And he chopped wood
When I was a young boy

I used to take trips
With the bike for good
And my best friend Chris
From the big town
Into the countryside


We used to take trips
We used to take trips

And now I'm standing here
Where I used to stand
Hand in hand
In a land that was so big

Do you believe in it?
Can you believe in it?
Do you believe in it?

There's a mouth on a phone
Somewhere across the ocean blue
And I know it′s you, Christopher Columbus

Ocean blue
With your tie-dye sails
Ocean blue
