Oh so many years ago when I was just a boy
I believed in the sea and all her treasures to behold
And the stories that my father told of lingcod five feet long
And so I would kiss my mother's cheek in the dark and out the door
Well I'd make me way for Halkett Bay along a rocky shore
Arbutus and ocean spray and the days were so long
Up before the dawn again, the days were so long
I try my luck on Fodder's Rock, past the point of hope
I trick and drift Eagle's Cliff in my little row boat
With the current's will deciding the tide into the night
I was rowing against the wind
And the waves were so strong
And that bay was so long
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
Woah -- remember
Rowing down Little Blue in a full moon's light
Sandy Bay and her lemonade, high tide
A little shiner in the deep, in the moonlight
Up before the stars again, late after it's dark
Preying on a dogfish that 9 foot shark
A little shiner on her side, in the moonlight
Where them bottom-feeders feed there's no sleep tonight
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
No -- to remember
Rowing out in Little Blue in a full moon's light
Sandy Bay and her lemonade, high tide
Little shiner in the deep, in the moonlight
Where them bottom-feeders feed there's no sleep tonight
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
And the years passed by, but it has not been too long to remember
Woah -- remember
