Michael Dunford's Renaissance
At the Harbour
Out at daybreak to the sunSeas are drifting glassThe tides were turning to the stormWinds were moving fastWomen waiting at the harborSilent stand aroundWeather storms another dayFor men the sea had foundFisherman were laying netsThe barrels spread the baitThe sea gull's warning echoed 'roundWinds that wouldn't waitPeople gathered at the harborWaiting for the tideEyes half closed against the sprayAnd tears they cannot hide[Chorus:]Shadows falling at the harborWomen stand aroundWeather storms another wayFor men the sea had drownedHulls were creaking, crashing sailsRains were slating downSongtexteThe oilskins flapping, decks awashSlanting, turning 'roundThunder roaring at the harborWomen drawn in fearHuddle up to wait the timeAnd pray the sky will clearHowling winds and the raging wavesCracked upon the boatsAnd torn from safety, torn from lifeMen with little hopeGhostly echoes at the harborWhispering of deathWomen weeping holding handsOf those they still have left[Chorus]
