OUT TO THE OCEAN

Mar 23rd 2009, 10:22 PM 0 raters


Out to the ocean to feed our children
unbroken links to our far away task
Hauling our catch to the sweet shores of erin
honour to wisdom and those who have passed
By water and spirit pure sources of life
we sail our souls out into the night
Beyond the horizon of tomorrows dawn
in windswept bay and deep sea storm
Out to the ocean to sustain our existence
the land of our fathers, just a spot in the distance
Turn for the catch of herring and cod
throwing excess back for the deep ocean god
By starlight and moonburst we plot our return
carrying the flesh of the profit we earn
The quotas of Europe's protectionists racket
have poisoned the deep and levied the packet
So now we lay idle a wreck at low tide
the signs of conclusion not easy to hide
No more the abundance and sails at high noon
the end of an era the fall of the moon
