lyrics

A fisherman drifter
His eyes out on the sea
The salty air calls him home
To his wife, a mother of three

I'll see you soon, Isabella
I'll see you soon, Paul and Henry
But please, please tell your mother
I love her more than this grey, grey sea

He wrote her twenty-six letters
Each ridden with tears and blood
For his cold, calloused hands could weather
Any storm but his heart's own flood

Her eyes made him dream
Vast stars just couldn't compare
He was a young, young fool to leave her
On the shoreline standing alone there

So she waits for her fisherman
With her children, all three
And his heart is filled with longing not freedom
On that lonely grey, grey sea
