Just before Christmas
On the cold Bay of Fundy
Ferries crossed over
And a fishing boat went down
And the fishermen drowned
In the waves of the water
In sight of the shoreline
And the lights of the towns
They'd been out for a while
Been hard at the fishing
Hatched out their boat
Were headed for home
Back to the dock
In the town they were born in
Better off for it
And tired to the bone
Eternal Father so strong to save
Bind the restless waves
There was no word
For there was no warning
Whatever came on them
Came out of the blue
Rocked from their dreams
Then deep down to darkness
Barely a prayer
Not a thing they could do
Eternal Father so strong to save
Bind the restless waves
The crew of the Chief
Didn't make it to Christmas
Didn't make it the last miles
They needed the most
Now the Christmas lights shine
From the house in the harbour
On the Bay and the tides
And the sons and the ghosts
Eternal Father so strong to save
Bind the restless waves
Eternal Father so strong to save
Bind the restless waves
