GUEST,Gloucesterman Lyr Req: Dawntreader (not Joni's) (5) Lyr Req: Dawntreader (not Joni's) 09 Jan 08


Some one has emailed me looking for the rest of these words. I confess to never having heard the song. Anybody recognize it?

Here is what she sent me:

Out of the harbor and into the sea
The Dawntreader moved soundlessly
Farther and farther from her port she sailed
With the wind blowing up a mighty gale

(and I forget the next verse)

and the wind was fierce
The rain crashed down like mighty spears
The ship was tossed, and all thought death was near
And the God's wrath had struck them here.

Chorus
    Steady as she goes boys,
    Steady her true,
    The Dawntreader will see you through.

The sails were tattered and the ship was worn
Then just as night was heading to dawn
Land was sighted off the starboard bow
And the captain said, "Bring her about."

    Chorus:
