Cabot Strait Lyrics

It's a hot summer night and the sun's a dying light

Newfoundland jack is blowing outside

As the ocean waits for passage

The cars all aligned before the dim foggy brine

As we wait to leave home and I stand before the glass edge

Your heart calls out

And my heart falls out

I think to myself that I'll be seeing you again

And you hear the depths sound

I'm anxious again because I don't want you to end

Being torn in half as I cross this continental shift and

I hear in my head that I'm a braver man

So I'll leave these wet shores and step forth onto new land

Change awaits in the old Cabot Strait

You're a path to sail upon, a death defying new breadth

Change awaits in the grey sea so stormy and great

It's the end of an era and you're all that I have left

And your heart calls out

And my heart falls out

I think to myself that this really isn't the end

And I hear the depths sound

Change awaits in the old Cabot Strait

From the south port I'm taking a leap

A death defying last stand

Change awaits where it's never too late

It's all in your head, they said

So give me a new heartland

Change awaits in the old Cabot Strait

From the south port I'm taking a leap

A death defying last stand

Change awaits where it's never too late

It's all in your head, they said

So give me a new heartland
