Harbor Song
Harbor Whispers: A Melancholic Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I dreamed you were a rich man
I had a dream where you were wealthy.
And that I had no place to go
In that dream, I had nowhere to go.
I came to you to see if you would take me in
I approached you to see if you would offer me shelter.
Through golden curtains you told me you'd let me know.
Amid luxurious surroundings, you said you'd inform me later.
Well, you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty
You indulge in heavy drinking and smoking excessively.
And your fickle heart will never be true
Your unpredictable heart is incapable of being faithful.
But still I feel the wind in from the harbor
Yet, I sense the breeze from the harbor.
That's when I know the longing for you
That's when I feel a deep yearning for you.
When I know the old longing for you.
Expressing the enduring desire for you during these moments.
I saw you in my mind's eye
In my imagination, I saw you on your last day.
You were laid out on your final day
You were laid out, perhaps in death.
I stood in line to see that handsome face once more
I waited in line to see your attractive face again.
It had been so dear to me, and I kissed you as you lay
It held significant value to me, and I kissed you goodbye.
You were so dear, I kissed you as you lay.
Emphasizing the affectionate farewell kiss.
Now, whenever I do travel
Whenever I travel, be it to Portugal, England, or Spain.
If to Portugal, England, or Spain
While passing shipyards and harbors.
As I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors
I sense the sea air, reminiscent of your lingering presence.
I smell the salt, and the bay rum of your ghost again
Specifically smelling the salt and bay rum associated with your spirit.
I know the salt, and the bay rum, you beside me again.
Recalling the sensory experience of having you by my side again.
