At The Harbour Lyrics

At The Harbour lyrics

Out at daybreak to the sun

Seas are drifting glass

The tides were
turning to the storm

Winds were moving fast

Women waiting at the
harbour

Silent stand around

Weather storms another day

For
men the sea had found



Fisherman were laying nets

The barrels
spread the bait

The seagulls warning echoed round

Winds that
wouldn't wait

People gathered at the harbour

Waiting for the
tide

Eyes half closed against the spray

And tears they cannot
hide



[Chorus:]

Shadows falling at the harbour

Women
stand around

Weather storms another way

For men the sea had
drowned



Hulls were creaking crashing sails

Rains were
slating down

The oilskins flapping, decks awash

Slanting turning
round

Thunder roaring at the harbour

Women drawn in fear

Huddle up to wait the time

And pray the sky will clear



Howling winds and the raging waves

Cracked upon the boats

And
torn from safety torn from life

Men with little hope

Ghostly echoes
at the harbour

Whispering of death

Women weeping holding hands

Of those they still have left



[Chorus]
