Stranger In Port





New maritime folk song written today & recorded ten minutes ago in one take in my bedroom. It's an untouched live recording, so you might want to turn the volume up a bit.

It's a free download as well. Just click on the arrow.

Lyrics:

She
Was taken to sea
Crossing an ocean or more
A stranger in port
And she
Had to forget
Had to forget
Forget the place she was born

And she
Ran into me
Like a sailor coming ashore
Like a sailor coming ashore

Me
I was stifled and chained
Landlocked in windows and doors
I ran off to port
And I
Tried to forget
Tried to forget
Forget the place I was born

And she
Ran into me
Like a sailor stepping aboard
Like a sailor stepping aboard

She
Was taken to sea
But met me down by the shore
Two strangers in port
And she
Made me forget
Made me forget
Forget the pain of before

When she
Ran into me
Like two sailors coming ashore
Like two sailors coming ashore
