[00:00.85]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[00:10.15]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[00:16.60]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[00:23.87]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[00:31.89]Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there it was said to lie
[00:38.31]The sea route to the Orient for which so many died
[00:45.55]Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
[00:52.10]And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
[00:58.71]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[01:05.84]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[01:12.26]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[01:19.60]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[01:26.65]Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland
[01:33.99]In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began
[01:40.98]Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
[01:47.72]This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain
[01:54.91]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[02:01.72]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[02:07.34]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[02:13.75]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[02:20.20]And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
[02:25.86]I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
[02:31.84]Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
[02:37.78]To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
[02:44.37]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[02:51.28]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[02:56.91]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[03:03.32]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[03:09.34]How then am I so different from the first men through this way
[03:15.41]Like them I left a settled life, I threw it all away
[03:21.41]To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
[03:27.31]To find there but the road back home again
[03:32.52]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[03:39.25]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[03:44.93]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[03:51.32]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
[03:56.61]Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
[04:04.54]To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
[04:10.96]Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
[04:18.23]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
