SAFE IN THE HARBOUR Time: 3/4 Tenor: C Bass: Bb - Eric Bogle, 1984, Record: Where The Wind Blows - Record: Margaret Cristl: Looking Towards Home - Source: Eric Bogle songbook, page 42 (C) , Rise Up Singing, page 205 (C)

Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning

And felt the hor-izon stir deep in your soul

Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water

And been gripped by a fever you just can't con-trol

Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls

To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind

Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening

Watch the red sun fall burning, be-neath the earth's rim

Chorus

But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor

Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over

C G F * You're safe in the harbour at last

NOTES: - Commemorates Stan Roger's tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)

Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds Who in ther hearts know they'll never sail over deep water To search for a treasure they're a-fraid they won't find So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam And wait for the sailors to re-turn with bright treasures That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams

Chorus

But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast You deep water dreamer, your journey is over C G F * You're safe in the harbour at last C G F * You're safe in the harbour at last

And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross They're men in a prison, they're men without vision Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss So when storm clouds come sailing a-cross your blue ocean Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your're worth For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth
