Harbour of Names - The Cheeky Celt
At the ferry wall you stood
with salt on your coat
Ma said keep your heart
like a letter you never wrote
Your boots knew the lane
my hands knew the cold
And the rain on the glass
made your face look old
We were young as the pier lights
young as a promise
You said wait for me
like you meant forever
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
I still call you home through the rain
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
Every goodbye still knows my name
Now the kitchen chair leans
where your coat used to hang
The fire in the grate
keeps a ghost of your laugh
I found your old watch
in the bread tin today
It ticked like a train
leaving town in the dark
And I folded your silence
into my Sunday shirt
All these years later
it still hurts
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
I still call you home through the rain
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
Every goodbye still knows my name
If the road took you west
if the sea took you south
If exile wore your face
when it came to my house
I kept the chair by the window
I kept the light on low
For the one who left
and never really goes
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
I still call you home through the rain
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
Every goodbye still knows my name
So sing me the light
sing me the years
Sing me the door that opened you here
Harbour of names
Harbour of names
I still call you home
through the rain
