WHITBY FISHERMAN (Bill Sables) I'm a fisherman from Whitby, keep my boat down on the shore And I fish the banks for herring as my father did before When we leave the land at sunset for to plough the northern sea It's the peace of moonlit waters that brings thoughts of home to me cho: Blessed quietness, Holy quietness, What assurance in my soul On the stormy sea speaking peace to me How the billows cease to roll When I'm standing in the wheelhouse in the subdued compass glow I can find a peace unequalled, while the crew's asleep below And the stars are there to guide me and to help me through the night Mingling with the lights of comrades sailing for the morning light When we shoot our nets at daybreak praying for a bumper haul Then the sun shows in the heavens spreading brightness over all And the seagulls wheel above us as we turn the boat around 'Cos the nets are full of silver and tonight we're Whitby bound We'll unload our catch in the harbour and make sure all is tied down Then it's home, a bath, then supper and a stroll down into town We will pass around the bottle in a pub down on the quay And we'll praise the Lord's protection and His gift of Peaceful seas @sea @fishing TUNE FILE: BLESSQU CLICK TO PLAY filename[ WHITBFIS JD Feb07 |
