Lyrics

Been some years ago Since I left for my island To go to the mainland Like the old folks would say As I walked up the gang way And I stood on the starboard And I gazed on the harbour On a grey foggy day Summer days they were warmer then When we laughed with the old fishermen And they cursed when the fog rolled in Then they made up the hay It's been more than a long long time Since I held you and called you mine And we waited for the sun to shine On a grey foggy day You'd wake in the early morn' To the sound of the old fog horn And wait for the men to return With their boats in the bay All these things I don't see no more When I lived on the old cape shore And I gazed on the boats on the moor On a grey foggy day Summer days they were warmer then When we laughed with old fishermen And they cursed when the fog rolled in Then they made up the hay It's been more than a long long time Since I held you and called you mine And we waited for the sun to shine On a grey foggy day And as long as my heart Doesn't break from those old memories Old lovers and old used-to-be's I'll come home for to stay I can still hear the ocean roar Through the hills on the old cape shore There are no fishing boats anymore But it's a great foggy day Summer days they were warmer then When we laughed with the old fishermen And they cursed when the fog rolled in Then they made up the hay It's been more than a long long time Since I held you and called you mine And we waited for the sun to shine On a grey foggy day And I pray the sun will shine On this grey foggy day
