At the Harbour |
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 |
Fishermen 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 |
Shadows falling at the harbour |
Women stand around |
Weather storms another way |
For men the sea have 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 |
Shadows falling at the harbour |
Women stand around |
Weather storms another way |
For men the sea have drowned |
