The Old Canal Zone is all gone now...
The Old Canal Zone is all gone now...
It slipped away quietly like a tropical breeze in the night
Memories of the past are many
Images frozen in time staring back at you
In treasured countless yearbooks and photo albums
Happy days in a lost paradise...so far away now
The Old Canal Zone is all gone now...
Memories can not be bought or sold
We all have an appointment somewhere in time
It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to know what is to follow
So what is all the noise... there is no enigma here
The train has left the station.... all aboard, now
The Old Canal Zone is all gone now...
Footprints mark our passage
Town sites mark our past
Diablo, Balboa, Curundu, Cocoli... all gone now
Some say they are still there... Coal-on, Margarita, Davis...
Not the same, Mon... Nothing stays the same
Solve the puzzle... write the words... Laughter is good medicine...
The Old Canal Zone is all gone now...
