How high the price!
How deep the water!
That makes widows out of wives!
For this is not fish you're eating,
This is men's lives.
Oh, clouds the sky, the boats are leav ing
One last goodbye,
dark water's call is on
The northern sea knows well
the sound of grieving
How slight the fate we put our trust upon
Then go we most,
no longer can we tabby
The waters are wild,
yet we must go and try
And like a bird on a silvery morning
Home to your side we will chance to fly
And the water shines like patent leather
We search for signs
upon this lifeless ground
The reckoning sky calls down
some heavy weather
We've come for fish,
and fish need must be found
Then go we must, no longer can we tally
The waters un wind,
yet we must go and try
And like a bird on a silvery morning
Home to your side we will just fly
And we ride the veil of entrusted glory
So blanks of wood grow
thicker than your thorn
It's all that keeps the
tending of our story
From being lost,
or maybe being warm
Then go we must,
no longer can we tarry
The waters are wide,
yet we must go and try
And like a bird on a silvery morning
Home to your side we
will chance to fly
All clouds, the sky, the boats are leaving
One last goodbye,
dark waters calls on
The northern sea knows well
the sound of grieving
How slight the fate we put our trust upon
And though we must,
no longer can we tarry
The water's un wind,
yet we must go and try
And like a bird on a silvery morning,
Home to your side we will
chance to fly.
Home to your side we will chance to fly.
