Here are the words to the song:

"Port of Skagway 1-2211"
 

Taiya Inlet. -- Deepest fjord
in this part of the world.
Mountains show the snow
in the pink distance
as they go.


A photographer
snaps a shot
of somewhere behind.


The ore dock lying silently
-- victim of the asbestos mines' shut down.
They wait for the tourists
to appear.


-- Tourists to appear,
tourists to appear... (?!)
The "tourists" are real people.
Not looking for the "tower",
they come with their own eyes.
They must see for themselves,
and the cameras
are to help their minds.
