On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
Wait two little boats
For David and me
David’s my friend
Right to the end
On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
We played and we fought
We grew, and I lost
My heart to his handsome face
He promised his love
‘Neath the moon up above
On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
She took his hand
Her lips so grand
Against his eager mouth
I cried out my love
‘Neath the stars high above
On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
But David gave smiles
And I fell for his wiles
Then he turned his love from me
I pleaded, I cried
David laughed and he lied
By the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
So I loosened the boards
I weakened the oars
When he took his love for a ride
He wasn’t so brave
The water’s his grave
By the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
Wait two little boats
for David and me
David’s my friend
No matter his end
On the saltwater shores of the Salish Sea
