lyrics

Bluenose (by Tyler Ellis)

Quarter of nine killing time crawling down the highway
Radio on playing that song that takes her far away
To the rocky shore of Labrador to the boy with the hand-me-down clothes
To the sails filled with hopes and dreams running with the Bluenose
His crackling voice fills the salty air she reaches for the harmony
Que sera sera sera loving the Anne Murray
Blissfully unaware of how her story would go
The stormy seas the doldrum days oh how they’d take their toll

But the radio bless its soul, the radio bless its soul
The radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
How it comforts her

Her bundle of joy comes undone down on Hastings Street
The apple of her eye made her cry voting with his feet
Miles to go and gas so low probably won’t make it to work
The electric company pulled the plug
A coffee stain on her skirt

But the radio bless its soul, the radio bless its soul
The radio, the radio, the radio, the radio
How it comforts her

Quarter of nine killing time crawling down the highway
Radio on playing that song that takes her far away
To the rocky shore of Labrador to the boy with the hand-me-down clothes
To the sails filled with hopes and dreams running with the Bluenose
To the sails filled with hopes and dreams running with the Bluenose
