[Verse 1]
Oh the captain yelled from the icy prow
"Leave the ropes
Boys
Follow me now"
We traded the mast for a mountain high
Swapped out the sails for a bright cold sky
[Chorus]
Heave ho
Down we go
Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow
Skis like oars on a frozen sea
Powder and the deep blue
Sing it with me (hey!)
[Verse 2]
We carved our tracks through the drift and spray
White waves breakin’ in a blinding spray
My beard all rimed like a winter rope
Heart full of fear and a flask of hope
[Chorus]
Heave ho
Down we go
Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow
Skis like oars on a frozen sea
Powder and the deep blue
Sing it with me (hey!)
[Bridge]
If I tumble down to the cold below
Lay my sticks where the pines all grow
Raise your cups
Let the story roll
Of the fool who sailed on a snowy shoal (ohhh)
[Chorus]
Heave ho
Down we go
Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow
Skis like oars on a frozen sea
Powder and the deep blue
Sing it with me (hey!)
