Rock in the Strait (Bowen Island)
[Intro]
Yeah…
From the ferry dock to the deep woods…
Bowen stand up…
Ain’t no postcard here, this the real side.
[Verse 1]
Yo, I roll off the Queen of Cap, rain hittin’ my brim
Fog thick, cedar scent sinkin’ right in my skin
This that Gulf Island grit, no glitter, no gloss
Where the tide pull strong and the locals know the cost
Trail through the Douglas fir, keep your step tight
Cougars in the shadow and the moon don’t shine right
Killarney Lake still, but the air got weight
Out here respect’s earned, city boys meet fate
[Chorus]
Bowen Island, rock in the Strait, no bluff
Salt air in my lungs, yeah, the current’s rough
From Snug Cove docks to the mountain’s spine
We grind like the ferry runnin’ outta time
[Verse 2]
From Artisan Square to the backroad bends
Everybody know everybody, watch how you end
This ain’t Vancouver pace, nah, we move slow burn
But the gossip here travel faster than you learn
Eagles in the sky, fish boats down low
Even the calm tide hide an undertow
Winter storms hit, lights flicker, go black
That’s when you know who got your back, no slack
[Chorus]
Bowen Island, rock in the Strait, no bluff
Salt air in my lungs, yeah, the current’s rough
From Snug Cove docks to the mountain’s spine
We grind like the ferry runnin’ outta time
[Bridge]
No mall, no hype, just the forest and the swell
Some call it paradise, some call it a cell
Either way, when you’re here, you feel the pull in your chest
This the island that’ll put your city soul to the test
[Verse 3]
I’ve seen rich cats in cabins and broke kids in the rain
Artists with a dream, loggers workin’ with pain
It’s a mix, old blood and newcomers fight for ground
But the drumbeat of this place still pound for pound
Grew up on the dockside, watchin’ ferries fade
Learned that escape ain’t the same as bein’ saved
Now I rep the rock loud, let the echo fly free
Bowen Island, yeah, that’s the heart of me
[Chorus]
Bowen Island, rock in the Strait, no bluff
Salt air in my lungs, yeah, the current’s rough
From Snug Cove docks to the mountain’s spine
We grind like the ferry runnin’ outta time
[Outro]
No matter where I roam…
This island keep callin’ me home.
Bowen… forever.
