<Chorus> |
| [00:00.640] |
Ah, for just one time |
| [00:04.872] |
I would take the Northwest Passage |
| [00:09.156] |
To find the hand of Franklin |
| [00:12.604] |
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea |
| [00:16.575] |
Tracing one warm line |
| [00:20.806] |
Through a land so wild and savage |
| [00:25.143] |
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea |
| [00:33.188] |
<Verse 1> |
| [00:33.188] |
Westward from the Davis Strait |
| [00:36.480] |
'Tis there 'twas said to lie |
| [00:40.764] |
The sea route to the Orient |
| [00:44.186] |
For which so many died |
| [00:48.470] |
Seeking gold and glory, |
| [00:51.135] |
Leaving weathered, broken bones |
| [00:54.792] |
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones |
| [01:01.688] |
<Chorus> |
| [01:01.688] |
Ah, for just one time |
| [01:06.730] |
I would take the Northwest Passage |
| [01:11.197] |
To find the hand of Franklin |
| [01:14.619] |
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea |
| [01:18.772] |
Tracing one warm line |
| [01:22.847] |
Through a land so wild and savage |
| [01:27.445] |
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea |
| [01:34.837] |
<Verse 2> |
| [01:34.837] |
Three centuries thereafter |
| [01:38.129] |
I take passage overland |
| [01:42.491] |
In the footsteps of brave Kelso |
| [01:45.940] |
Where his "sea of flowers" began |
| [01:50.093] |
Watching cities rise before me |
| [01:53.254] |
Then behind me sink again |
| [01:57.564] |
This tardiest explorer |
| [02:01.273] |
Driving hard across the plain |
| [02:05.192] |
<Chorus> |
| [02:05.192] |
Ah, for just one time |
| [02:09.424] |
I would take the Northwest Passage |
| [02:13.891] |
To find the hand of Franklin |
| [02:17.208] |
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea |
| [02:21.518] |
Tracing one warm line |
| [02:25.620] |
Through a land so wild and savage |
| [02:30.008] |
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea |
| [02:37.819] |
<Verse 3> |
| [02:37.819] |
And through the night, behind the wheel |
| [02:41.737] |
The mileage clicking west |
| [02:45.055] |
I think upon Mackenzie, |
| [02:48.033] |
David Thompson and the rest |
| [02:51.925] |
Who cracked the mountain ramparts |
| [02:55.295] |
And did show a path for me |
| [02:59.918] |
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea |
| [03:06.423] |
<Chorus> |
| [03:06.423] |
Ah, for just one time |
| [03:11.647] |
I would take the Northwest Passage |
| [03:16.114] |
To find the hand of Franklin |
| [03:19.458] |
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea |
| [03:23.716] |
Tracing one warm line |
| [03:27.948] |
Through a land so wild and savage |
| [03:32.415] |
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea |
| [03:39.990] |
<Verse 4> |
| [03:39.990] |
How then am I so different |
| [03:43.125] |
From the first men through this way? |
| [03:47.748] |
Like them, I left a settled life |
| [03:51.327] |
I threw it all away |
| [03:54.775] |
To seek a Northwest Passage |
| [03:57.832] |
At the call of many men |
| [04:02.194] |
To find there but the road back home again |
| [04:08.777] |
<Chorus> |
| [04:08.777] |
Ah, for just one time |
| [04:14.054] |
I would take the Northwest Passage |
| [04:18.756] |
To find the hand of Franklin |
| [04:22.230] |
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea |
| [04:26.566] |
Tracing one warm line |
| [04:31.060] |
Through a land so wild and savage |
| [04:35.709] |
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea |
