| Chorus: Cold winds blow across the harbour Cold winds on the inland sea Same winds that called our fathers Cold winds calling me |
|
Ice forms on the deck and whiskers Light a fire and stay below Shut up tight, the wind's a whisper Pass the bottle, it's time to go. |
| Chorus |
| Rise up, rise up and dog the hatches Mind your hands they're cracked and sore Check the lines on your way inland Time to take a job ashore |
| Chorus |
| Summer spray and full moon autumns Wood and water, frost and stone Early snows mean early winters Taste each season as it goes |
| Chorus |
