Гуру ПесенPamela Morgan - A Hundred Miles | Текст песни
Shortly after this came the tragic story of Burton Winters, a fourteen year old from Labrador who became disoriented on the ice and walked 19 km away from his snowmobile before he froze to death. Search and rescue wouldn't send a chopper out early enough to save him.
A few weeks later a man tried to get search and rescue when his father was having a heart attack on a vessel, and his call was put through to Italy.
The Federal government in its infinite wisdom has moved search and rescue away from NL to Nova Scotia, a thousand miles away. Federal bureaucrats have been photographed fly fishing on the Labrador in search and rescue choppers. The explanation from the feds? "Survival excercises."
lyrics:
He'll be leaving long before the dawn, I'll wake up, he'll be gone
Steaming out to nowhere and beyond
I gave up going down to say goodbye, won't let him see my eyes
Asking yet again to tell me why
He's going a hundred miles offshore to sweep the ocean floor
For anything they never took before
A hundred, a hundred miles offshore
A hundred miles or more to face whatever nature has in store
The sea's a savage, crashing on the strand, cruel mistress to my man
A love I can't begin to understand
And I don't need it, all the fancy toys, the things the money buys
I'd rather have him poor and still alive
And no-one's listening to any S.O.S
A seaman in distress, a child lost on the ice who walks to death
A hundred, a hundred miles offshore
A hundred miles or more to face whatever nature has in store
Ah, precious cargo, my husband and our son
Seven heardy seamen, my brothers all but one
Don't be going a hundred miles offshore,
It's different than before, there's nothing left to catch there anymore
A hundred, a hundred miles offshore
A hundred miles or more to face whatever nature has in store
