The winter is long, the winter is cold
But we've got a fire and secrets to hold
In every harbour, a light's kept on late
Just for the sailors who challenge their fate
From St. John's to Halifax, stories are told
Of silver in nets and the spirits so bold

Oh, the Atlantic is calling your name
From the Cabot Trail rocks to the PEI rain
You've made your vows, you've made your pledge
To Canada's wild eastern edge, yeah

That's right

Oh, the Atlantic is calling your name
From the Cabot Trail rocks to the PEI rain
Made your vows, you've made your pledge
To Canada's wild eastern edge

You can see your cold, salty breath
Out on Canada's wild eastern edge
