AmEm7CF
Just fifteen miles from shore
AmEm7CF
I lost the love that I had
AmEm7CF
Slipped and fell into the cold
AmEm7CF
Of the deep and the dark below
AmEm7CF
Big wave, small boat
AmEm7CF
We tipped, I froze
AmEm7CF
My hands were ice, my feet were stone
AmEm7CF
I could not throw the rope
EAm
I caught her eye as she dipped down with a wave
AmEm7CF
I jumped in but I was too late
AmEm7CF
Fighting with the currents of the Georgia Strait
AmEm7CF
Fighting with the wind and the tide and the waves
AmEm7CF
I lost my love that day
I touched her fingers as she breathed out my name
She smiled at me, I watched her fade away
To the deep and the dark of the underwave
To the Currents of the Georgia Strait
And here it's been ten years to the day
And here I'll sit for a hundred years and I'll wait
Till I see her smiling face
Come shining up through the waves
On the shore, in the rain I'll wait
Till I see my love again
I pray to God, I curse my luck, I question my faith
I curse my empty hearted fate
And I curse the wind and the tide and the waves
And I curse the currents of the Georgia Strait
Where I lost my love that day
Where I lost my heart
To the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait
It's the curse of the currents of the Georgia Strait
