Lyrics
I was born in a small town in southern manitoba It was there that i lived most of my life During my years there i met a young girl by the name of alice And together we did what most young couples do It was our plan to eventually marry and have a family But upon my 18th birthday i came to the conclusion That i needed to find a career, and could not do so in the small town I had decided to move south, to toronto, and become a lawyer But alice could not bear to leave the town she had grown up in So we parted ways, and i cried many a tear for the love of my youth My stay in toronto was long, and i met and courted many women But none could compare to alice, in body or mind I completed my studies, and set up practice But still my heart was in my home town And my in my mind i traveled there frequently I was very depressed, and did not have many friends And even though i was very successful in my new life I always felt incomplete It was then that i had decided I would move back home and ask alice to marry me A week after i had made my decision I found myself back in the small town in southern manitoba I took a few days to build up my courage And finally ventured to alice's home to ask my question Upon arriving, i was greeted with some horrible news Three weeks after leaving for toronto Alice had killed herself Alices family had said they tried to contact me, and relay the horrible news But alas they could not reach me They explained they lived in fear that one day i would return Searching for my childhood love Only to find she was no more There was no sadder a day in my life The day i found my true love had died Yet i go on, Hoping one day to find one as good as alice had been
