歌曲歌詞
I stand in my doorway as the moon rises high
Over glorious ocean
Reflects the bright sky
My heart it is aching
So much I could die
I've known only the ocean
Since I was a boy
And I spent my whole life out there on the sea
Some government bastard now takes it from me
It's not just the fish they've taken my pride
I feel so ashamed that I just want to hide
I fished with my father
So long long ago
We were proud of our trade
And in us it did show
We held our heads high
There was lots of fish then
That was the time when we were proud men
We challenged great storms and sometimes we won
Faced death and disaster
We rose with the sun
We worked and we toiled
We strained arm and brain
We were a proud people
Will we ere be again
And I spent my whole life out there on the sea
Some government bastard now takes it from me
It's not just the fish they've taken my pride
I feel so ashamed that I just want to hide
My father is gone now
And the fish are gone too
