Jerry Leger - To The Harbour lyrics

In the winter of my day She lays in the snow barely awake And good boys don't touch What they can't understand And the shadows 'round here Never witness anything I know I've felt her on the breeze Wounded lips The hunted refugee With my hard pressed pen I wrote for her to come where I stand Is she lost in the water No one sees her in the wind I've been wondering All about where she's been Blue eyes upon the damp light Never worried when she's sure One day she'll return In the dull whispering night To the harbour If the mercy bell rang for her In sweetened air The tin painters and poets would glare Cement their minds on the girl Who never was free Oh, I'd give it all just to hold her close To feel what harms her the most The war in her heart The war on her home The shivering speech from her children She hears and can't control Is she lost in the water No one sees her but me I've been wondering Where she goes in my dreams Blue eyes upon the damp light Never worried when she's sure One day she'll return In the dull whispering night To the harbour To the harbour
