West Barbary 02:06
Let us rise And give thanks For blessed we are today To see another sun rise Here upon West Barbary

Well there she goes again without her coat on She’ll catch her death of cold racing out on those roads But she’s riding the waves stop her if you could So looking from this window i wonder if i should Now father he’s sobered caught sight of her lad Though he can’t see that she’s gifted the good lord Put youth in her hand Now we sit at the table we remembered how we met That nervy young tradesman right at my doorstep Now see I’m not wearing no frown but the years they add up in these old mining towns Daughter dearest she comes back way past her time And father he’s stayed up to give her a piece , a piece of his mind Now theres shouting down stairs he’s caught sight of that ring She’s to young to regret that little wedding bell dream And those bells they echoed down the streets which she grew I stood looking out me and her father we knew That she’ll grow old in the town which she grew So see she’s not wearing no frown but those years they’ll add up in these old mining towns

Modern Time 06:42
Somethings they change, the trade dried up hard As a fishermen then with that money stretched well to far She left just last night, saying the cage has grown thick at the joints I spend all my time at the harbour point I say is that a crime it reminds me of a simpler time Cornwall was young both youth on our sides And never a grey day ,yet somethings the change yes they change, with time. So leave now my love, with that last kiss you walk on eggs shells a true taste of bliss So i sat by’e harbour and the duchy screamed my name As we watch the last young man fish out what’e can And i tell’e they won’t stop, till the last pennies caught I know they won’t stop Cause its not a young man game , its just the young mans turn On our grey day So i tell’e somethings changed but i think it might be me This modern time bares nothing ta me So i tell’e somethings changed and i think it might be me This modern time it see’s me on my knees It see’s me on my knees You see I’ve worked off these docks for most my life It supported a family, gave purpose to my life You see its a generation thing i followed my families way For the very blood thats flows through my veins See you can catch yourself caught dreaming away of those days Perk up and you’ll find your in the same place But this day its drawn down into an erry close It will wash the young smell from beneath your nose So what i sight this must be, to still see me perched at this point Waiting for the tide to shallow in the night And i light rain it falls down on my face This is it This time a decision must be made.

Tempest 02:40
Boarder me up son but please bring me some wine Tonight i dine on this unholy of time So run along now but please save your family When this ship goes down ill take that devil with me Now along from each other the tempest he's arrived With the wind whistling wildly across the face of these skies This ship is me brother , my only family So i look into his eyes I'm taking that devil with me With me at sea With me at sea So i cannot see the things that i least desire But right now in front i see the face that drowns in fire And i want to sink his growing smile He wants to sink mine to So he stands up he says to me Let us devils sink at sea At sea with me At sea with me So boarder me up son but please bring me some wine Tonight i dine on this unholy of time So run along now but please save your family When this ship goes down ill take that devil with me

The Coming days they're getting closer Their anxious eyes will meet our light Tale catch wind we will hold our silence For the smugglers eyes they tell none That evening comes the coastline calls us Honest men that night will change The faithful fail to see a future for themselves so a wreckers cry grows in their bones And with me by their side All before forgiven In the tunnels that we may trail The king of prussia he will prevail We sit now a sin to shallow But patience brings it grand reward For the smugglers eyes the wreckers cry This coming day is getting colder the anxious eyes meet our light Tale catch wind we all will hold our silence west barbary calls on a wrecker night
