lyrics

She’s more than a bathtub but less than a boat
And I’ve still got seven more miles to row
To my cannery home and the darks overwhelming the day

If I don’t see the light before I’m in the dark
There’ll be no more reason for pulling so hard
In this cloudy cathedral there’s no stars to show me the way
Pulling for home

So many waves in the way
Pulling for home
So many waves in the way

Its up early morning and fishing all day
The nets in the nets out your back ought to break
Lost in the fog or caught in the cold coastal rain

But she’s full to the gunnels with Sockeye today
The seasons been good and the company pays
And there’s more for tomorrow if I make it back home today

My wife and my children work hard every day
Canning the fish that I pull from the sea
And they’re waiting for me on the dock in the dark in the rain

What’s that I see from the crest of this wave
The beacon to guide me back into the bay
Joy washes over me as fear falls away and I’m safe
