i probably posted this before but can't read 1800 messages to confirm. anyway, little song to tune of boys of killybegs/meeting of the waters Fishing's in our blood but now our boats are filled with mud And our docks are smashed and scattered far and wide And our nets and floats and gear are taken far from here And they drift upon the ocean and the tide Island folk are we who make our living from the sea But we know too well the shaking of the ground I jumped into my boat though fear was in my throat And I passed by many men I knew would drown For the island to be saved I had to head into that wave I just did what any fisherman would do 30 meters high and it blotted out the sky And I had to just hold on and plough on through You across the seas who gather our debris Do you hear our cries above the ocean's roar And as our boats wash in do you think of all those men Who will have fishing in their hearts forevermore
