Song title: George Donaldson - Safe in the Harbour

Edit By: 216.73.216.66

And felt the horizon stir deep in your soul
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water
Been gripped by a fever you just canâ€™t control
To throw off the shackles to fly with the seagulls
To where green waves tumble over driving sea wind
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summerâ€™s evening
Watch the red sun fall burning, beneath the earthâ€™s rim

Chorus
To every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
Youâ€™re safe in the harbour at last
Safe in the harbour at last

Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds
In their hearts know theyâ€™ll never sail over deep water
To search for a treasure theyâ€™re afraid they wonâ€™t find
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam
And wait for the sailors to return with their treasures
That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams

Chorus

Some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers
Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross
Theyâ€™re men in a prison, theyâ€™re men without vision
Whose only horizon is profit and loss.
So when storm clouds come sailing across your blue ocean
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that youâ€™re worth
For as long as thereâ€™s dreamers, there will always be sailors
Bringing back their bright treasures from corners of earth

Chorus

Safe in the harbour at last
