Fog on the Harbour Road

Lyrics

Fog on the harbour road
Lamps wear halos, soft and slow
Boats are sleeping, bells are low
Morning comes the way it goes

Milk cart rolling, unseen wheels
Footsteps near, and none reveal
Who is walking, who is near
Just a nod, and I know you're here

Walk with me through the morning gray
Fog will lift, but not today
We can't see far, but we can see
You are here, and you walk with me

Coffee steam and a bakery door
Warm bread smell, and a little more
Every window glows like a friend
Gray will soften, gray will end

Walk with me through the morning gray
Fog will lift, but not today
We can't see far, but we can see
You are here, and you walk with me

Gulls above and I hear them cry
Somewhere there's a patch of sky
Let it come when it will come
Slow is fine, and we're not done

Walk with me through the morning gray
Fog will lift, but not today
We can't see far, but we can see
You are here, and you walk with me

Walk with me, walk with me
