Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Haul Away

It was a windless night when you left the ship

You never were a steady bold one

I gave my hand, ah, but you did slip

I'm a living man and you're a cold one

Haul away, haul away for home

My love's as fair as a girl can be

My wedding ring is a heavy gold one

Now you lie alone in the deep dark sea

I'm a living man and you're a cold one

Haul away, haul away for home

The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze

To fill our sails and end the doldrums

Our lucky ship speeds across the sea

I'm a living man and you're a cold one

Haul away, haul away for home
