VERSE 1
I was born under the stars,
LA RENever meant to journey far
From all the faces and the place
That I called home
REAnd my father lived the same
LA REAnd his father before him
But now I see in my son's eyes
SOL LASomething has changed
SOL LAAnd the smoke it has stopped rising
From the chimney up the road
LA SOLAnd the light no longer shines over the door
RE LALast year I lent a hand
The haul the boats unto the land
RE LA SOLThey've been lyin' there for nineteen months Or more
RE LA REAnd I wonder will they lie there evermore
VERSE 2
REWasn't many years ago
LA REThat the men 'round here would go
Out in there skiffs and haul their traps out on the bay
REAnd then shortly they'd return
LA RELoaded down from stem to stern
And we'd off the fish then stow the gear away
SOL LANow the waters are as barren
SOL REAs the cliff that guard the cove
And catch the north wind blowin' off the shore
RE LAAnd I wonder how an ocean
RE MImTurns as lifeless as a stone
And I wonder can the sea revive once more
RE LA REAnd I wonder will they lie there evermore
Solo
VERSE 3
REWell I hear some people say
We'd be better off to stay ashore
RE SOL LAAnd train for jobs outside the fishery
RENow wouldn't I look like a fool?
To go traipsin' off to school
SOL LAAfter forty years of livin' of the sea
SOL LANow my son he's barely twenty-one
And handy at the trawl
RE LA SOLFor years he helped my fish the Labrador
RE LA SOL MImNow he's movin' to Ontario before the first snowfall
Dad theirs nothin' left for me 'round here no more
RE LA SOLAnd I wonder will I see his children born
RE LA REAnd I wonder will they lie there evermore
