On the northeast tip
of North America
on an island called Newfoundland
there's an airport
It used to be one
of the biggest airports
in the world
and next to
it is a town called Gander
Welcome to the rock
if you come from away
You'll probably understand
about half of what we say
They say no man's an island
but an island makes a man
Especially when one comes
from one like Newfoundland
Welcome to the Rock
That mornin' I'm in the classroom
it's our first day back
and school buses are on strike
so I'm coverin' for Annette
who's running late
Sorry Beulah how's the kids
Not exactly thrilled to be
inside on such a gorgeous day
so I told them
we'd only half day this mornin'
and they were quite pleased
until I told them
we'd have the other half
in the afternoon
Welcome to the wildest weather
that you've ever heard of
Where every one is nicer
but it's never nice above
Welcome to the farthest place
you'll get from Disneyland
Fish and chips and shipwrecks
this is Newfoundland
Welcome to the rock an islander
I am an islander I'm an islander
I am an Islander
I'm an islander I am an islander
I'm an islander
I am an islander
That mornin' I'm in car
The kid's cross Airport Blvd
to get to school
and that time of day people are
in a little bit of a rush
to get to work and stuff
so normally I sit there
and run my radar
And if they're speedin'
I'll stop them
and write out a warning ticket
I'll write S.T.F.D
Slow the fuck down
Welcome to the land
where the winters try to kill us
and we say
we will not be killed
Welcome to the land
where the waters
try to drown us and we said
we will not be drowned
Welcome to the land
where we lost our loved ones
and we said
we will still go on
Welcome to the land
where winds try to blow
and we said No
That morning I drop my kids off
at school
and head to the SPCA
where I'm greeted
by my other kids
all barking and meowing
for breakfast
and a belly rub
Not that I'm complaining
I love them
But by the time feeding is done
I gotta get back up
to pick up my human kids
so I take just one second
for myself
and I'm sitting in my car
I'm in the library
I'm in the staff room
And I turned on the radio
You are here
at the start of a moment
on the edge of the world
Where the river meets the sea
Here at the edge of the Atlantic
on an island in
between there and here
I'm noting my radar
when Bonnie comes by
She pulls up
and she is waving at me like mad
so I rolled down my window
and she says
Oz turn on the radio
Slow it down Bonn-
Jesus H Oz turn on your radio
Where our stories start
It's my first day at the station
When in the night
I'm getting coffee for the
picket line
Where we know by heart
It's five minutes
till my smoke break
Every single flight
I'm off to work at the airport
Welcome to the fog
welcome to the trees
to the ocean and the sky
and whatever's in between
To the one's who left
you are never truly gone
Our candle's in the window
and our candle's always on
When the sun is coming
and the world has come ashore
If you're hoping for a harbor
than you'll find an open door
In the winter from the water
through whatever's in the way
to the ones
who have come from away
Welcome to the rock
