Stan Rogers - "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

Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his “sea of flowers” began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain

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

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
 
Fair Warning (Still I Believe)

Many Times I Fought
With a Burning Desire
These Old Feelings Ran High
And the Heart was on Fire
Many Dreams I Dreamt
And Sad Tears were Falling
Many Rivers I Crossed
Still the Call Keeps Me Calling
Sometimes I Got Lost
In Emotions - Hard to Fight
Everytime I was Found
I was Taken Straight Back to Light
Still I Believe - Someday
Still I Believe - Somehow We Will Find a Way
A Way Out of All Misery and Faith is the Key
Still I Believe
Promises Broken
And the Bad Taste of Bitterness
Make the Strongest Heart Break
Put a Soul to The Wilderness
And in Nights I Feel Restless
All Alone on My Own
There's a Light That Keeps Shining
There is a Way Home
Sometimes I Got Lost
In Emotions - Hard to Fight
Everytime I was Found
I was Taken Straight Back to Light
Still I Believe -…

 
Fair Warning (Long gone)

There ain't my land in this city lights..
It's bringin' back your face sometims....
Memories of the thousand nights long gone.....
And there's a feelin' I go by...
I still can see your shinin' eyes..
I can feel my heart's still holdin' on..

(We didn't need warnin'..
When we found that love was gone..
We never found the reason..
But that time we buy..
And time's never wrong...
Babe.....)

{ Wherever we go.. Whatever we find..
We never made it till the mornin'..
Whatever we do... We cannot deny......
Believin' in love would've ever strong... }
Long gone........

The world is on the turn and tryin'..
Crossin' with the mornin' light...
To wash away the souls' abscence in the sand...
And as I see them risin' high..
I turn away to close my eyes...
I guess one day my heart will understand
 

Goothard (All I care for)
Another day before us
And we're ready for the show
Across the land of mystery
Everyone with their own dream
Sometimes harder than they seam
Here I am far away
Hundred miles and oceans from you
Feel the need to cry out loud
I want you to know
Oh, you're all I care for
Oh, you're all I care for
You're all I need
Soon I will be back again
I know, it's hard to love a kind of man
Always on the line
Always out of time
Just one thin I know for sure
Here…
