Out at daybreak to the sun seas are drifting glass The tides were turning to the storm winds were moving fast Women waiting at the harbor silent stand around Weather storms another day for men the sea had found Fisherman were laying nets the barrels spread the bait The seagulls warning echoed round winds that wouldn't wait People gathered at the harbor waiting for the tide Eyes half closed against the spray and tears they cannot hide Shadows falling at the harbor Women stand around Weather storms another way For men the sea had drowned Hulls were creaking crashing sails rains were slating down The oilskins flapping, decks awash slanting turning round Thunder roaring at the harbor, women drawn in fear Huddle up to wait the time and pray the sky will clear Howling winds and the raging waves, cracked upon the boats And torn from safety torn from life men with little hope Ghostly echoes at the harbor whispering of death Women weeping holding hands of those they still have left Shadows falling at the harbor Women stand around Weather storms another way For men the sea had drowned |
