Colin Hay - Fisherman's Friend Lyrics
I stand alone on the harbour
Look out on the bay
The wind and rain makes it harder
No-one braves the storm today
My clothes are damp from the spray
The air is cold but my feet are even colder
The boats are where they’re going to stay
I never thought I’d ever worry about the weather
I never used to care
But it becomes too real when it provides the meals
For you and many far away
But there’s always the promise of tomorrow
To sail the seas is such sweet sorrow
Together with all the old familiar smells
In this blissful hell full of fearful joy
The ocean waits for its prey
The night’s a thief and at the end of the day
Steals the light away
I stand alone in the harbour
I still look out on the bay
The wind and rain makes it harder
No-one braves the storm today
I can’t see anything, only what’s ahead
And what gets washed up on the shore
There are so many things either left unsaid
Or spoken a million times before
Weigh anchor
I’d rather go sailing round the world

Colin Hay Fisherman's Friend Comments
Loved this song ever since hearing it for the first time in 1988. Such incredible atmosphere in this track. Really clever how Jeremy Alsop does a little hornpipe on the bass at 2:56, totally in keeping with the theme of the song.
Que chingón está este álbum, está mejor que los de men at work
C.J. should dust this off and try it out during one of his acoustic tours. Some surprises might come afloat. Weigh anchor.
Thank you a million times for putting the 'Looking For Jack' album on here.My vinyl copy was ruined many years ago and I've never been able to find it anywhere since.I'm so happy to hear this album again.You've made my day :) x
@Simon Crumley I wanted to add the same thing in my message... lost my copy years ago too. This album made me so happy to listen to again :)
Just ordered the CD version, Hope it gets to me in one piece.
