Lyrics

Intro

Oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mmm

Chorus

Starcatch Bay where the cold water flows

Starcatch Bay where the north wind blows

Deep in the timber

High in the pine

Working the water and tracing the line

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch Bay

Verse 1

Silver saws biting through cedar and bark

Steam on the glass

Swinging the heavy steel before the first spark

Walking the pass

I pull the rope tight to the metal cleat

The ferry drags slow

Feeling the pulse of the mud under feet

Ready to go

Chorus

Starcatch Bay where the cold water flows

Starcatch Bay where the north wind blows

Deep in the timber

High in the pine

Working the water and tracing the line

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch Bay

Drop

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay

Verse 2

Rafts hitting the pier

Lumbermen singing

Moving the green wood away from the fear

Broadaxes swinging

Cabin lights glowing across the dark mouth

Waving the lantern

Floating the giant trunks toward the south

Following the pattern

Chorus

Starcatch Bay where the cold water flows

Starcatch Bay where the north wind blows

Deep in the timber

High in the pine

Working the water and tracing the line

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch Bay

Drop

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay

Bridge

Heave it out

Hold it steady

Haul it in

River is rising

River is restless

River is rough

We never get enough

Chorus

Starcatch Bay where the cold water flows

Starcatch Bay where the north wind blows

Deep in the timber

High in the pine

Working the water and tracing the line

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch Bay

Drop

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay

Starcatch

Starcatch Bay
