letra de snap the line tight - james keelaghan

[verse 1]
i’ve got a halibut boat, the opening is over
the fish just weren’t biting, our catch is way down
we’re salvagers now, there’s logs that are waiting
we pull ’em off shore and we sell them in town

[chorus]
and we’ll snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea

[verse 2]
how many thousands of acres of forest
lie scattered and heaped by the wind and the tide
well, the companies cut them and boomed them and lost them
and left them forever to rot where their lie
she’s a six-foot thick hemlock, half-sunken in sand
gotta dig out a hole to pass the line through
wrap her around and when she’s tied and ready
then stand clear away and signal the crew

[chorus]
to snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea
[verse 3]
it’s thirty-six hours we’ve been without sleep
gotta boom them by dawn if we’re making this tide
it’s a five hour haul with a nor’wester blowing
and a starboard-side swell for a bl–dy rough ride
and our back deck’s a mess of anchors and peaveys
all sliding and tangling in cables and chains
we’re in the middle with chokers and pike-poles
to wrap the logs tight so they’re not lost again

[chorus]
and we’ll snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea
we’ll snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea
we’ll snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea
we’ll snap the line tight
haul them away
snap the line tight
she’s rocking, she’s free
snap the line tight
haul them away
and slide ’em off into the sea
[fade out]
