    About :

    I grew up singing in an amazing choir and we sang this song a few times. It was so beautiful then and has always stayed with me.

    I thought 3speak & Hive would enjoy it as well. Glad to share it now.

    Frobisher Bay, written by James Gordon

    Cold is the Arctic Sea
    Far are your arms from me
    Long will this winter be
    Frozen in Frobisher Bay
    Frozen in Frobisher Bay

    "One more whale," our captain cried
    "One more whale and well beat the ice."
    But the winter star was in the sky
    The seas were rough; the winds were high.

    Deep were the crashing waves
    That tore our whaler's mast away
    And dark are these sunless days
    Waiting for the ice to break.

    Strange is the whaler's fate
    To be saved from the raging waves
    Only to waste away
    Frozen in this lonely grave.
