Just fifteen miles from shore
|
I lost the love that I had
|
Slipped and fell into the cold
|
Of the deep and the dark below
|
Big wave, small boat
|
We tipped, I froze
|
My hands were ice my feet were stone
|
I could not throw the rope
|
I caught her eye as she dipped down with a wave
|
|
I jumped in but I was too late
|
Fighting with the currents of the Georgia Strait
|
Fighting with the wind and the tide and the waves
|
I lost my love that day
|
I touched her fingers as she breathed out my name
|
|
She smiled at me, I watched her fade away
|
To the deep and the dark of the underwave
|
To the Currents of the Georgia Strait
|
|
And here it's been ten years to the day
|
And here I'll sit for a hundred years and I'll wait
|
Till I see her smiling face
|
Come shining up through the waves
|
On the shore, in the rain I'll wait
|
Till I see my love again
|
|
I pray to god, I curse my luck, I question my faith
|
I curse my empty hearted fate
|
And I curse the wind and the tide and the waves
|
And I curse the currents of the Georgia Strait
|
Where I lost my love that day
|
Where I lost my heart
|
To the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait
|
It's the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait
|
