Carried on a wave across the great ocean
But the great ocean leans towards you softly, Nancy
Heaving from it’s deepest heart of hearts beating
They’ll christen you in her waves, Nancy
But the waves of The Great Ocean
Burning like the birch of Bonavista Bay
They’ll carry you away, Nancy
Carried away on a wave
Oh, how long you’ve been watching the waves Nancy
Oh, how long you’ve been coming here whistlin into The Great Ocean
This wind will be cold blowin’ forever
They’ll christen you in her waves, Nancy
They’ll carry you down to the black shards of Bonavista Bay
They’ll carry you away, Nancy
Carried away on a wave
Oh, how long I’ve been waiting amongst the waves for you Nancy
Oh, how long you’ve been comin’ here whistlin’ your sacred melody
I was washed up with the waves Nancy
Across the great ocean
Still burning like the birch of Bonavista Bay
They’ll carry you away Nancy
Carried away on a wave
