judy collins & ari hest – secret harbour lyrics
[verse 1]
i slipped into your harbor past the pirate ships
the lights were low, my sails were down
the seal of sacred silence was on my lips
i prayed the storms were weathered now
i climbed aboard at midnight, the sky was black
the gamble lost, the tables turned
even in the darkness i heard you laugh
and wept as all my bridges burned
[chorus]
there is a secret harbor somewhere north
a place where ships are not in flames
a cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
a place where no one knows your names
[verse 2]
you said how can you be so innocent
you were my demon all the while
i saw the skull and crossbones on your mast
the predator behind the smile
i cursed you as the wind blew through my sails
i loved you till the moonlight drowned
i sought you through the streets and waterways
my calling for you still resounds
[chorus]
there is a secret harbor somewhere north
a place where ships are not in flames
a cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
a place where no one knows your names
[verse 3]
you wooed me with your wicked smile that night
and then you promised me the moon
i saw it floating in the waters deep
and then it disappeared too soon
i sailed out of your harbor, through the rising tide
my memories were filled with pain
i drifted towards the sunrise, lost in fog
your echo had me wrapped in chains
your promises were drifting like men who’d drowned
the bitter water beckoned me
i wrapped the shadows round me once again
and sailed through storms that set me free (set me free), set me free
[chorus]
there is a secret harbor somewhere north
a place where ships are not in flames
a cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
a place where no one knows your names
there is a secret harbor somewhere north
a place where ships are not in flames
a cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
a place where no one knows your names
i washed my face in falling rain
and swore that i’d find love again
