Your father sailed on the Murmansk Run |
| [00:04.17] |
To guide the flocks of the ships home one by one |
| [00:09.42] |
Grey beneath the Arctic sun |
| [00:12.87] |
Or the glow of Northern Lights |
| [00:17.34] |
I see you have his photograph |
| [00:21.24] |
His eyes are watching for dangers fore or aft |
| [00:25.50] |
Trading days beneath the sun |
| [00:28.80] |
For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run |
| [00:41.34] |
He never did come home to you |
| [00:45.27] |
It's long forgotten, a childhood dream or two |
| [00:50.52] |
But something of the cold got through |
| [00:52.74] |
And it lingers in your eyes |
| [00:57.27] |
On days like these you hear the wind |
| [01:01.20] |
And feel the chill of the ice floes closing in |
| [01:05.31] |
Trading days beneath the sun |
| [01:08.67] |
For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run |
| [01:25.74] |
Save our souls, river of darkness over me |
| [01:32.25] |
Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea |
| [01:39.48] |
Now you hide yourself from view |
| [01:43.26] |
You seem to find it an easy thing to do |
| [01:47.40] |
Trading days beneath the sun |
| [01:50.79] |
For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run |
| [01:55.20] |
Save our souls, river of darkness over me |
| [02:52.83] |
Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea |
| [03:12.60] |
Well you wake up in the morning on Hester street |
| [03:15.81] |
And run to the factory, You can't afford to be late |
| [03:24.18] |
Working every morning, every evening, every day |
| [03:27.30] |
For your money, Yet there's nothing to save |
| [03:31.71] |
Watching your life pass by the window |
| [03:38.40] |
Feeling it all run through your hands |
| [03:42.06] |
Counting the thousands behind in the lines |
| [03:44.88] |
Waiting time for their chance |
| [03:49.14] |
From Ellis Island, day after day |
| [03:57.42] |
From Ellis Island, dreams slip away |
| [04:08.52] |
Meanwhile from the market come the cries |
| [04:10.92] |
Of every tongue and every nation |
| [04:12.96] |
Refugeless refugees |
| [04:19.74] |
Faces from the endless plains of Russia |
| [04:22.08] |
Blonde Norwegian, dark Croatian |
| [04:24.12] |
Songs in sad minor keys |
| [04:30.03] |
Feeling the heat inside the furnace |
| [04:33.99] |
Trying to make that break away |
| [04:37.71] |
Reaching their hands for a grip |
| [04:39.66] |
On the edge just to slip back again |
| [04:45.48] |
From Ellis Island, day after day |
| [04:52.05] |
From Ellis Island, dreams slip away |
| [04:57.00] |
Ah well I've heard it said |
| [05:01.95] |
If you just use your head |
| [05:03.81] |
You can make your fortune here |
| [05:08.67] |
One lucky break and that's all it would take |
| [05:11.43] |
But it never seems to be near |
| [05:16.80] |
Another day, another ship pulls into harbor |
| [05:19.83] |
And the crowd spills down the gangway |
| [05:23.43] |
Clutching their suitcases tight |
| [05:28.65] |
Blinking in the sunlight at the door of the new world |
| [05:31.65] |
They hold the handrail |
| [05:34.47] |
With all the past thrown behind |
| [05:38.91] |
Caught in between now and forever |
| [05:42.81] |
Wondering just what lies ahead |
| [05:46.56] |
Each one is waiting and hoping |
| [05:48.69] |
The door will be open to them |
| [05:53.73] |
On Ellis Island, day after day |
| [06:01.35] |
On Ellis Island, time slips away |
| [06:08.46] |
From Ellis Island, day after day |
| [06:15.87] |
From Ellis Island, dreams slip away |
| [06:38.31] |
Save our souls, river of darkness over me |
| [06:45.75] |
Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea |
