[Verse 1] You came down from the ice fields, white coat full of snow, I waddled by the tide pools where the cold currents go. You watched me chase a silver fish; I watched you miss a hare, Then shared the last bit of my catch like it was only fair. [Chorus] You run where the high winds wander, I sail where the cold waves roll, You’ve got the paws for the wide white country, I’ve got the sea in my soul. We don’t look much like a pair, my friend, But we meet where the blue ice bends. [Verse 2] You taught me how to read the drifts and find a sheltered place, I showed you how the shallow bay can hide a quick escape. The gulls all called us foolish; the seal just blinked and stared, While you stood guard beside my nest and I groomed your frozen hair. [Chorus] You run where the high winds wander, I sail where the cold waves roll, You’ve got the paws for the wide white country, I’ve got the sea in my soul. We don’t look much like a pair, my friend, But we meet where the blue ice bends. [Bridge] When the long dark presses close, And the hard snow starts to rise, I’ll keep watch beside your trail, You’ll keep watch beside the tide. [Final Chorus] You run where the high winds wander, I sail where the cold waves roll, You’ve got the paws for the wide white country, I’ve got the sea in my soul. We don’t look much like a pair, my friend, Still we meet where the blue ice bends. [Outro] One pawprint, one little track, Across the ice and back.
