harbor song (live)

I dreamed you were a rich man

and that I had no place to go
I came to you to see if you would take me in

through golden curtains you told me you' d let me know.

well, you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty

and your fickle heart will never be true

but still I feel the wind in from the harbor

that's when I know the longing for you

when I know the old longing for you.

I saw you in my mind's eye

you were laid out on your final day

I stood in line to see that handsome face once more
it had been so dear to me, and I kissed you as you lay

you were so dear, I kissed you as you lay.

now, whenever I do travel

if to Portugal, England, or Spain

as I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors

I smell the salt, and the bay rum of your ghost again

I know the salt, and the bay rum, you beside me again.
