Safe In the Harbour

Lyrics

 

Have you stood by the ocean on a diamond-hard morning

And felt the horizon stir deep in your soul?

Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut thru blue water

And been gripped by a fever you just can't control?

 

O to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls

To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind

Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer evening

Watch the red sun fall burning beneath the earth's rim

 

But to every sailor comes time to drop anchor

Haul in the sails and make the lines fast

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

You're safe in the harbor at last

 

You're safe in the harbor at last

 

Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers

Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds

Who in their hearts know they'll never sail over deep water

To search for a treasure they're afraid they won't find

 

So in sheltered harbours they cling to their anchors

Bank dow their boilers & shut down their steam

And wait for the sailors to return with the bright treasures

That will fan the dull embers & fire up their dreams

 

But to every sailor comes time to drop anchor

Haul in the sails and make the lines fast

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

You're safe in the harbor at last

 

You're safe in the harbor at last

 

And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers

Take the gold from the sailors & turn it to dross

They're men in a prison, they're men without vision

Whose only horizon is profit and loss

 

So when storm clouds come sailing across your blue ocean

Hold fast to your dreaming for all that you're worth

For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors

Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth

 

But to every sailor comes time to drop anchor

Haul in the sails and make the lines fast

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

You're safe in the harbor at last

 

You're safe in the harbor at last
