AWAY FROM THE ROLL OF THE SEA

Small craft in the Harbour that's still and serene
Given no indication what their ways have been.
They rock at their moorings all nestled in dreams,
Away from the Roll of the Sea.

Their stern lines are groaning a lullaby aire -
A ghost in the cuddy, a gull on the spare.
But never they whisper of journeys afar,
Away from the roll of the Sea

Oh, had they the tongues for to speak
What tales of adventure they'd weave
But now they are anchored to sleep and slumber alea

Come fair winds to wake them tomorrow we pray
Come harvest aplenty to them everyday
Til guided by harbour lights their home to stay
Away from the Roll of the Sea
Away from the Roll of the Sea
