Nanci Griffith - Leaving The Harbor lyrics

(Nanci Griffith) When you are leaving the harbor Do you cry out to the shore? Do you bless the wave of the ocean Do you call your vessel home? As you leave the safest harbor Do you wonder where you'll go? When you feel your bough is breaking Do you call that harbor home? When you sing the lullabye Do you sing it for the song? Or do you love the way it slides Like velvet 'cross your tongue? And as you sing the lullabye Do you savor every line? Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat With your voice and your mind? If you turn the light out in the hallway Will your shadow lose its way? Or do we share these shadows in the darkness And they move from place to place? We could share a shadow in the darkness As shadows have no face But should you sell our soul to the darkness Can you face the light of the day? When you are leaving the harbor Do you cry out to the shore? Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean? Do you call your vessel home? Oh, do you bless the wave of the ocean? Do you call your vessel home?
