Northwest Passage Lyrics – The Wellermen
Singer: The Wellermen
Title: 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
It’s there was 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
