lyrics

"Why would you ever want to go to Winnipeg?" she said
"There's nothing there for me but family
Last time I went home they lost my luggage
It took them 10 days to get it back to me"
And he said, "I just can't wait to get to Winnipeg"
She said, "Why John, tell me what do you mean?"
And he said, "I can't explain, it's just the feeling there
Plus they've got the best music on the scene"

And I wonder…

Chorus
Why do sunflowers follow the light?
Why are the darkest paintings all of war?
Why are the best songs born of heartache?
Shouldn't they be about something in this life that's worth living for?

Why in the world would I want to go to Winnipeg?
I lost my favourite lover there
Well he was just, walking down the street when he saw her face
Framed in the crystals of her breath on the winter air
Well damn that winter air!

Chorus

I can think of a thousand reasons why to go to Winnipeg
It's hard to convince you if you've never been
There's just something about the feeling there
Plus they've got some of the best music on the scene

And I wonder...

Chorus

Shouldn't they be about…something more
Shouldn’t they be about, shouldn’t they be about something more
Than…all the reasons why to not go to Winnipeg?
