Talk around the fireside Tales tall and smiles and in whispers, their story Secrets of so many men Strangers from so long ago They turned that November night They set sail in silence and darkness Bound for danger all as yet unseen The cold winter sea came alive Time to save their world My lovely (my lovely) Wish me safely home Wait for me there Frightened as the storm began Slowly they lost their direction Helpless, blinded by the icy spray They caught every new breaking wave They would never reach the shore Never to claim what they hoped for The ocean, taking portents only dreamed Responsed with their hard times they drown Take good care my love Remember (remember) When you dream of me I will return Hoping, waiting For tribute I'll be home again My lovely (my lovely) Misty grey, the morning light Red in the sky from the sunrise The water breaking softly on the rocks They're all twenty men of the lights Years may come and go Still waiting (still waiting) So much older now Broken insight Kiss him, calling far away Time to save their world Say goodbye
