[VERSE 1]
I was Dborn under the stars,
Never Ameant to journey fBmar
From aGll the fDaces Gand the Dplace
That I called Ahome
And my Dfather lived the same
And his fAather before Bmhim
But Gnow I Dsee in Gmy son's Deyes
Something has cAhanged
And the Bmsmoke it has stopped F#mrising
From the Gchimney up the Droad
And the light no longer Ashines over the Bmdoor
Last yDear I lent a Ahand
The haul the Bmboats unto the Eland
They've been Dlyin' there for Anineteen months Or Bmmore
And I Dwonder will they Alie there evermDore
[VERSE 2]
Wasn't Dmany years ago
That the Amen 'round here would Bmgo
Out Gin there Dskiffs and Ghaul their Dtraps out on the Abay
And then Dshortly they'd return
Loaded dAown from stem to Bmstern
GAnd we'd Doff the Gfish then Dstow the gear aAway
Now the Bmwaters are as F#mbarren
As the Gcliff that guard the Dcove
And catch the north wind Ablowin' off the Bmshore
And I Dwonder how an Aocean
Turns as Bmlifeless as a Estone
And I Dwonder can the sAea revive once Bmmore
And I Dwonder will they Alie there everDmore
[Solo]
[VERSE 3]
Well I Dhear some people say
We'd be Abetter off to Bmstay Gashore
And Dtrain for Gjobs outDside the Afishery
Now wouldn't DI look like a fool?
To go tAraipsin' off to Bmschool
GAfter Dforty Gyears of Dlivin' of the Asea
Now my Bmson he's barely F#mtwenty-one
And hGandy at the Dtrawl
For Dyears he helped my Afish the LabraBmdor
Now he's Dmovin' to OnAtario befBmore the first snowEfall
Dad theirs Dnothin' left for Ame 'round here no Bmmore
And I Dwonder will I Asee his children Bmborn---G-|
And I Dwonder will they lAie there everDmore
