From the recording Open Seas, Empty Skies

Lyrics

Midwinter brings a day warm and sweet like summer
The boys down on the quay are busy making plans
The girls are out to see us off and the nets are in good order

And it’s a grand day for the fishing

We’ve packed the ice on board and set out through the harbour
I don’t need a chart to point me on my way
I grew up on this boat and I’m sure I now these waters

We’ve had a run of luck and she’s bulging with the cargo
We’ll set the market price if the weather holds today
The boys are singing and the wind is keeping tempo
