haul away - a.p. clarke lyrics
[verse 1]
there’s a man in the water, just off the port side
haul, haul away boys
by the time we turn round he’ll be lost to the tide
haul, haul away boys
[verse 2]
would you rather it was you in the water instead?
keep your head down, there’s a long night ahead
haul, haul away boys
haul away…
[verse 3]
well throw his trunk over, it will just weigh you down
haul, haul away boys
and i’m sure he was dead ‘fore he started to drown
haul, haul away boys
[verse 4]
don’t look at him now as he raises his hand
he’ll be plenty more lost, ‘fore we ever see land
haul, haul away boys
haul away…
[verse 5]
well the storm it was rough, the crew turned away
and the man in the water, and over and over, and always the same
calling your name
hail, hail, what has become of me?
hail, hail, can you not see me?
now can you hear me?
[verse 6]
always the same, calling your name
and the boat moves away as he lowers his hand
you can still see his eyes, realise
and says, “friend, friend, there’s nothing that you can do
leave me, i will be fine, i will see you in the new land”
haul, haul away boys (x3)
[verse 7]
now it’s been a year since we folded the sheet
haul, haul away boys
and it isn’t his face that you see on the street
haul, haul away (x3)
haul, haul away, boys…
