James Parr - TransCanada

She came from Tofino on the West Coast of the land
Vancouver Island
And he came from the furthest windy city in the East
St. John's Newfoundland

They met right in the middle
At somebody's wedding
They don't even remember who it was

She was a legendary surfer on the waves
Of the wild Pacific
And he was a fisherman who'd learned his father's trade
On the rough Atlantic

They met in Manitoba
At somebody's wedding
They won't ever remember who it was
It was love at first sight
But they both missed their oceans dearly
They knew this one night would be all there was

Next day she said "think of me when you're out on the sea
And I'll think of you"
And he said "guess we'll always keep the Prairies in our hearts"
Boy was he right...

Cause when they flew away
In opposite directions
They knew their love was all they'd ever need
So when they got back home
They set out on the highway
That would lead back to where it all began...

TransCanada
Stretching out beneath the northern skies
From coast to coast
Through misty forests and wide open spaces
Across the great heartland tonight

She drove through the Rocky Mountain passes to the plains
Big skies and wheat fields
And he drove clear across Quebec and straight through Thunder Bay
Great Lakes country

They met back in the middle
And they had a wedding
This time they will remember whose it was
There they settled
Two thousand miles away from either ocean...
Sometimes we sacrifice these things for love
