The N.S. Songtext

You lost the fight, but won the war,
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for.

But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean,
It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy!
Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion?
And if we get lost, we can find out
Where it was we used to be when time stood still for you

You or I could tell the story well,
But attention fell before the lights came on again
Without the sense of hearing,
My thoughts are disappearing
And all time will tell
Is that anyone can decide

I lost the fight, but won the war
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for anyway,
You lost the fight, but won the war
And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for
But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean
It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy!
Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion?
And if we get lost we can find out
Where it was we used to be
We're following signs to the sea
So take your time, if you're leaving before me,
Say goodbye, say bye bye - bye bye!
