letra de pleasures of the harbor - glenn yarbrough

[verse 1]
and the ship sets the sail
they’ve lived the tales
to carry to the shore
straining at the oars
or staring from the rails
and the sea bids farewell
she waves and swells
and sends them on their way
time has been her pay
and time will have to tell
[chorus]
soon your sailing will be over
come and take the pleasures of the harbor

[verse 2]
in the room dark and dim
the touch of skin
he asks her of her name
she answеrs with no shame
and not a sense of sin
fingеrs draw the blind
the sip of wine
the cigarette of doubt
till the candle is blown out
the darkness is so kind

[chorus]
soon your sailing will be over
come and take the pleasures of the harbor

[verse 3]
in the bar hangs a cloud
the whiskey is loud
the thrill has blown away
and all alone they stay
two strangers in the crowd
and the bottle fills the glass
the haze is fast
he’s trembling for the taste
of passions gone to waste
in memories of the past
[verse 4]
in the alley wet with rain
a cry of pain
for love was but a smile
teasing all the while
now dancing down the drain
and the sea bids farewell
she waves and swells
and sends them on their way
time has been her pay
and time will have to tell

[chorus]
and soon your sailing will be over
come and take the pleasures of the harbor
