To The Harbour Lyrics - You Me & The Horse - Jerry Leger

In the winter of my day 

She lays in the snow barely awake 

And good boys don't touch 

What they can't understand 

And the shadows 'round here 

Never witness anything 

I know I've felt her on the breeze 

Wounded lips 

The hunted refugee 

With my hard pressed pen 

I wrote for her to come where I stand 

Is she lost in the water 

No one sees her in the wind 

I've been wondering 

All about where she's been 

Blue eyes upon the damp light 

Never worried when she's sure 

One day she'll return 

In the dull whispering night 

To the harbour 

If the mercy bell rang for her 

In sweetened air 

The tin painters and poets would glare 

Cement their minds on the girl 

Who never was free 

Oh, I'd give it all just to hold her close 

To feel what harms her the most 

The war in her heart 

The war on her home 

The shivering speech from her children 

She hears and can't control 

Is she lost in the water 

No one sees her but me 

I've been wondering 

Where she goes in my dreams 

Blue eyes upon the damp light 

Never worried when she's sure 

One day she'll return 

In the dull whispering night 

To the harbour 

To the harbour
