You will wait in the widow's peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the backstreets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning air
And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home
(refrão)
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know.
You will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all if seas are dangerous
You should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
And I'll alert the citizens
I'll sound the alarm.

They've tethered the ships in the har bor
It anchored the rest at sea.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know.
