Leaving The Harbor(Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

Leaving The Harbor (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith
When you are leaving the harbor
Do you cry out to the shore
Do you bless the wave of the ocean
Do you call your vessel home
And as you leave the safest harbor
Do you wonder where you'll go
When you feel your bough is breaking
Do you call that harbor home
When you sing the lullabye
Do you sing it for the song
Or do you love the way it slides
Like velvet 'cross your tongue
And as you sing the lullabye
Do you savor every line
Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat
Your voice and your mind
If you turn the light out in the hallway
Will your shadow lose its way
Or do we share these shadows in the darkness
And they move from place to place
And we could share a shadow in the darkness
Shadows have no face
But should you sell our soul to the darkness
Can you face the light of day
'Cause you are leaving the harbor
Do you cry out to the shore
Oh do you bless the wave of the ocean
Do you call your vessel home
Oh do you bless the wave of the ocean
Do you call your vessel home
