The Labrador Phenomenon
On a cold , cold night in Labrador
Just west of the I O C
As I traveled the road from Wabush
While a Newfie Jig played on CD
And to my wonderment, joy and elation
The night sky lit up above
In green and blue and white and red
All dancing as though in Love
The emotion which then filled my heart
And through my every bone
In the splendour of this moment
I never felt alone
The aurora Borealis,
The wonder of the sky
It danced to the newfie music
My pleasure to enjoy
DonÂ’t take this sight for granted
Enjoy its every gleam
As it rises , then falls and waits
To add color to your dream
IÂ’ve travelled oÂ’er this province
From St. JohnÂ’s to Red Bay town
From Wabush to Lake Melville
To Englee, where fish abound
But nowhere in my travels
Did such a sight I see
Not even on the ocean
Woods island or Bay De Esprit
In silence than I listened
As the dance continued on
I could hear the voice of Heaven
As GodÂ’s handiwork I found
These Northern Lights of Labrador
Is a sensation to behold
So close but yet so far away
ItÂ’s the enthÂ’ wonder of the world.
