Lyrics

Blue sky horizon line over distant sea ice,
Steady calm Baffin Bay in summertime,
Lush green a faded scene for its westward we glide,
Among the rocky barren shores where the great bear hides

An elder stokes the fire at the sod house nearby,
Bleached whale bones scattered ‘round her shine,
Like that berg in the bay, incandescent in sunlight,
Slowly melting away, crossing the great divide

Oh how the dreams dangle in the air,
As the dancers ‘round me spin,
And that fire flickers imagery of ancient kin,
And the patterned beads seem to walk right off those moccasins,
And cross the barrier of myth and legend

Sun dogs way up high in that clear morning sky,
Reflecting off the glassy ocean tide,
Welcome our landing to some unknown shoreline,
An omen from beyond to guide our way this time

Oh how the dreams dangle in the air,
As the dancers ‘round me spin,
And that fire flickers imagery of ancient kin,
And the patterned beads seem to walk right off those moccasins,
And cross the barrier of myth and legend
Myth and legend, Myth and legend

Oh how you've read it in those books before,
How the north seems to open a new door,
But only when the covers have been closed,
Do the elder’s words emanate up from the coast

Oh how the dreams dangle in the air,
As the dancers ‘round me spin,
And that fire flickers imagery of ancient kin,
And the patterned beads seem to walk right off those moccasins,
And cross the barrier of myth and legend
Myth and legend, Myth and legend
