The Trawlerman's Song
Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler We're taking on water Diesel and stores Laying up awhile Before I'm back on board
They're patching her up To go fishing again They're welding her rudder Scrubbing her keel
Scars on her belly Need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermen
I know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leaving With the same old crew
On the green water The tumbling sea They ain't running Like the good old days
Time's just slipping Down the old slipways In the dock So dear to me
Dark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From foundering
On the rocks Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My only prayer Is just to see you there At the end
Of my wandering Back in the dock
I could use a lay off Getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off And a few skip jack
So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind Pirates coming in To steal our gold
You can count yourself lucky With a profit in the hold In the dock When we come in
Dark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From foundering
On the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there At the end
Of my wandering Back in the dock
