Letra de The Trawlerman's Song
We're taking on water Diesel and stores Laying up awhile Before I'm back on boardThey're patching her up To go fishing again They're welding her rudder Scrubbing her keelScars on her belly Need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermenI know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leaving With the same old crewOn the green water The tumbling sea They ain't running Like the good old daysTime's just slipping Down the old slipways In the dock So dear to meDark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From founderingOn the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there At the endOf my wandering Back in the dockI could use a lay off Getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off And a few skip jackSo it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind Pirates coming in To steal our goldYou can count yourself lucky With a profit in the hold In the dock When we come inDark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From founderingOn the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there At the endOf my wandering Back in the dock
