Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > Caragana Wind
By The Sea
About Song
The political position of most folks on some of the smaller west coast islands are carefully examined in this song. Should have LEFT this one off the CD
We live on these rocks / Where the ferry boat docks
Still wearin black gumboots and slickers
We brag and we boast / Of this life on the coast
But sometimes we argue and bicker
Just as long as we live by the sea
Just as long as my darlin loves me
For whatever it's worth / We're apart of the earth
And that's not such a bad place to be
Just as long as we live by the sea
Down at the Islanders Hall / A meeting was called
They said a bridge would improve our condition
When it came to a vote / Everybody said no
We're taking the lotus position
We gather the wood / That will fit in the stove
Given up by the wind and the breakers
We barter and trade / We lay in the shade
And manjana means sooner or later
Some say it's a fact / We're a little laid back
Some say not over ambitious
It's not that we shirk / Ah but why should we work
When we can munch on granola and fishes
