In The Breaker's Misty Blow |

In the breakers misty blow the same old heartache strikes again a heavy swelling in my throat far away from tender hands. In a sure way I'll stay cold on a windswept deck away from the memories big and bold of a golden yesterday. A piece of heaven in my soul turns to memories of the past where a distant fire glows, a lovelight candle calls me back. In the breaker's misty blow the same old heartache fills my eyes In the breaker's misty blow A voice is callin from the brine. Here I stand alone again ten thousand sailed miles away with a cold and restless wind blowing on my tear stained face. Echoes roaming through my mind of loving times at port of call with the girl I left behind on the shores of Montreal. There's no lighthouse to be found no immigration made for me away from her I'm ocean bound sailing on a cold gray sea. In the breakers misty blow the same old heartache fills my eyes. In the breakers misty blow I leave the light that fills the sky. |
