Lyrics Northwest Passage

Ah for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie

The sea route to the Orient for which so many died

Seeking gold and glory leaving weathered broken bones

And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones

Ah for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

Three centuries thereafter

I take passage overland

In the footsteps of brave Kelsey where his Sea of Flowers began

Watching cities rise before me then behind me sink again

This tardiest explorer driving hard across the plain

Ah for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

And through the night behind the wheel the mileage clicking west

I think upon Mackenzie

David Thompson and the rest

Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me

To race the roaring Fraser to the sea

Ah for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

How then am I so different from the first men through this way

Like them I left a settled life

I threw it all away

To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men

To find there but the road back home again

Ah for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
