Another truly great one, which never fails to move me after I've been sailing on my beloved Tall Ships is Eric Bogle's "SAFE IN THE HARBOUR". I believe it was written in tribute to the late, great, Stan Rogers and you'll find it on Eric's "When The wind Blows" album (Larrikin CD LRF 144). Words are below:

Have you stood by the ocean on a diamond hard morning,
and felt the horizon stir deep in your soul?
Watched the wake of a steamer as she cuts through blue water?
Been gripped by a fever you just can't control?
Ah, to throw off the shackles, and fly like the seagulls,
To where green wave tumble before a driving sea wind;
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening,
And watch the red sun fall burning beneath the earth's rim.

Chorus: But to every sailor comes time to drop anchor,
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast.
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over,
You're safe in the harbour at last.

Some men are sailors but most are just dreamers,
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds.
Who in their hearts know they'll never sail over blue water
To search for a treasure they're afraid they won't find.
So in sheltered waters they cling to their anchors,
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam.
And wait for the sailors to return with the treasures
Which will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams.
Chorus:

And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers,
Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross.
They're men in a prison - they are men without vision,
Whose only horizon is profit or loss.
So when storm clouds come sailing across your blue ocean,
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your worth,
For as long as there's dreamers there will always be sailors
Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth.
Chorus:

Hope you'll like it as much as I do.
Cheers,
