Leaving The Harbor (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

When you are leaving the harbor

Do you cry out to the shore

Do you bless the wave of the ocean

Do you call your vessel home

And as you leave the safest harbor

Do you wonder where you'll go

When you feel your bough is breaking

Do you call that harbor home

When you sing the lullabye

Do you sing it for the song

Or do you love the way it slides

Like velvet 'cross your tongue

And as you sing the lullabye

Do you savor every line

Or do they flow as one with your heartbeat

Your voice and your mind

If you turn the light out in the hallway

Will your shadow lose its way

Or do we share these shadows in the darkness

And they move from place to place

And we could share a shadow in the darkness

Shadows have no face

But should you sell our soul to the darkness

Can you face the light of day

'Cause you are leaving the harbor

Do you cry out to the shore

Oh do you bless the wave of the ocean

Do you call your vessel home

Oh do you bless the wave of the ocean

Do you call your vessel home
