1. He turned up one day.
The darkest toast in this white-bread town.
I was feeling a little ground down.
But he changed my point of view.
Always on the edge of all things new.
chorus:
Out of the blue, he came to me.
Opening eyes to what's there.
Out of the blue, he came to you
bringing all that he offered,
and what he offered was fine.
2. There we were...pumping quarters down on Yonge street
to save the world. Dazzled by the sights, we hit the heights.
Not afraid of Toronto nights.
(chorus)
3. X marks the spot...the best kids yet.
That run downhill was a good idea at the time.
And just like that, he left. Wandering...the pinball man lost.
Here, there and everywhere was he
until he found me again.
(chorus)

1. It's raining outside...meet at the place...
time's ticking by.
We drive down the street, it's okay.
Now tables and chairs...there's no one there,
at least not yet.
The weekend is tiptoeing near.
Chorus:
The world stops for just a moment.
Four coats hanging off chairs.
A brand new day...what can I say?
The world stops for just a moment.
Fly away...who cares?
A brand new day.
2. He's first in the place...talkin' 'bout art...
he's on display.
He tells us about his next show.
Burning it at both ends, he's twice as bright
when he's got friends.
He gives as good as he takes.
(chorus)
3. He's moving along...going up high...
kissing the sky.
His heart is as big as the sea.
He gives of himself with no question.
His laughter is rich and it's clear.
(chorus)
4. Big grin on his face, his thoughtful eyes
take in the place.
He takes on the world...you will see.
He's always right there in case you need him.
There is no doubt the family lights his way.
(chorus)
[bridge]
(Instrumental)
5. The ups and the downs...cursing at fools..
life with the clowns.
I'll go pay the bill...no, I insist.
Laughing like we're solving all the world's tomorrows.
We've still got some time...stay in the van.
(chorus 3x)
