cape breton shore

J. Sheppard, F. Lavery, S. Muise 2018

There’s a tide that ebbs and flows 

Never ending as it goes 

Giving way to rise and fall 

Like an ancient voice it calls 

And the moon she understands 

The treasures of this land 

This little island 

Oh Cape Breton I am You, you are me 

I hear your songs in the mountains and the trees 

We’ll always be your sons and your daughters 

Children of the wind and the water 

Evermore 

My beautiful Cape Breton Shore 

You have seen me on my way 

To return another day 

Then with the rising sun 

Like the tide and time we run 

I am washed clean in your waves 

Another soul is saved 

By This Island 

Oh Cape Breton I am You, you are me 

I hear your songs in the mountains and the trees 

We’ll always be your sons and your daughters 

Children of the wind and the water 

Evermore 

My beautiful Cape Breton Shore 

When I drift away 

You hold me as I pray 

Remember that I knew 

Heaven’s here with you 

I hear your songs in the mountains and the trees 

We’ll always be your sons and your daughters 

Children of the wind and the water 

Evermore 

My beautiful Cape Breton Shore 

Evermore 

My beautiful Cape Breton Shore
