Small craft in a harbour that's still and serene,
D A D G
Give no indication what their ways have been
D A D G
They rock at their moorings all nestled in dreams,
D A7 D
Away from the roll of the sea.
D A D G
Their stern lines are groaning a lullaby air,
D A D G
A ghost in the cuddy, a gull on the spar
D A D G
But never they whisper of journeys afar,
D A7 D
Away from the roll of the sea.
D
Oh, had they the tongues for to speak,
D7 G
What tales of adventure they'd weave
A A7 D
But now they are anchored to sleep,
A A7
And slumber alee.
D A D G
Come fair winds to wake them tomorrow, we pray,
D A D G
Come harvest a-plaenty to them ev'ry day
D A D G
Til guided by harbour lights they're home to stay,
D A7 D
Away from the roll of the sea.
D A7 D D7
Away from the roll of the sea.
