Curse Of The Currents

Am Em7 C F Just fifteen miles from shore Am Em7 C F I lost the love that I had Am Em7 C F Slipped and fell into the cold Am Em7 C F Of the deep and the dark below Am Em7 C F Big wave, small boat Am Em7 C F We tipped, I froze Am Em7 C F My hands were ice, my feet were stone Am Em7 C F I could not throw the rope E Am I caught her eye as she dipped down with a wave Am Em7 C F I jumped in but I was too late Am Em7 C F Fighting with the currents of the Georgia Strait Am Em7 C F Fighting with the wind and the tide and the waves Am Em7 C F 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
