Just fifteen miles from shore   I lost the love that I had   Slipped and fell into the cold   Of the deep and the dark below   Big wave, small boat   We tipped, I froze   My hands were ice, my feet were stone   I could not throw the rope   I caught her eye as she dipped down with a wave      I jumped in but I was too late   Fighting with the currents of the Georgia Strait   Fighting with the wind and the tide and the waves   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
