From the recording The C-Sides

Lyrics

Nova Scotia, Save a Place for Me

Listen to the mystery when the winds blow strong
The waves on the shoreline, the rhythm of your song
I will sing your praises, ‘til the ages take their toll.
You put the salt air in my bones and the ocean in my soul

Walk me through the valley, where the tides rise and fall
Sail me down the river, follow the seabirds’ call
Autumn leaves, frozen streams, footprints in the sand
Lakes that paint the sky, it makes me cry - how lucky I am…

Nova Scotia, search your heart and save a place for me
Nova Scotia, you’re a part, of who I’ll always be.

With a world to discover, and a lifetime to learn,
I know where I belong, and where I’ll return,
When the sun sinks low, into the blue horizon,
The wind calms to a whisper, safe harbour, I’m home.

Nova Scotia, search your heart and save a place for me
Nova Scotia, oh, Nova Scotia, oh,
Nova Scotia, you’re a part, of who I’ll always be.
