Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I seen it all a rise and fall another, fishin' stocks are gone
It's different way of life but we'll go on
We face the icy winds and cold out on the northern sea
Where the cog stocks made a livin' once for me
I remember years ago when men they made their daily catch
Caught tongues from the heads of fish we'd snatch
[Verse 2]
For a buck a pound we'd all go down close by the water's edge
And we'd wait for skulls to fall down from the ledge
And if I stair at long enough over the mist upon the bay
I can still see men in the morning sail away
I believe I see a vision in my dreams from on this rock
Rise from the seas like ghost out in the fog
[Verse 3]
Now time goes on, our life still change some friends we'll see no more
As we boarded up the windows and the doors
And we stare once more at an empty shore where people used to race
And we leave for good, the tears roll down our face
[Verse 4]
And if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
I can still see men in the morning sail away
I believe I see a vision in my dreams from on this rock
Rise from the seas like ghost out in the fog
[Verse 5]
The years they drift behind us and the dreams we have our gone
And we realize now it's time to move on
Like an ember from the chimney of a wood stove, tying the flies
Life fades away like stars off in the sky
[Verse 6]
And if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
I can still see men in the morning sail away
I believe I see a vision in my dreams from on this rock
Rise from the seas like ghost out in the fog
[Verse 7]
And if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
I can still see men in the morning sail away
I believe I see a vision in my dreams from on this rock
Rise from the seas like ghost out in the fog
They rise from the sea like ghost out in the fog
