It was in the spring this year of grace
With new life pushing through
That I looked from the citadel down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to
I saw Upper-Canadian concrete and glass
right down to the water line
I have heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
Can I sing it just one time

With half-closed eyes against the sun
for the warm wind giving thanks
I dreamed of the years of the deep laden schooners splashing home from the Grand Banks
The last lies done in the harbor sun
With her picture on a dime
But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
Can I sing it just one time
Can I sing it just one time

CHORUS:
And haul away and heave her home
This song is heard no more
No boats to sing it for
No sailors to sing it for
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
We traded old ways for the new
Old ways for the new
Old ways for the new, for the new

Now you ask "What's this romantic boy,
Who laments what's done and gone?"
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gale sang an awful song
But my fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
Can I sing it just one time

CHORUS

(Repeat first verse)


Mirror lyrics:

(Repeat first verse)

CHORUS

Can I sing it just one time
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
But my fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gale sang an awful song
Who laments what's done and gone?"
Now you ask "What's this romantic boy,

Old ways for the new, for the new
Old ways for the new
We traded old ways for the new
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
No sailors to sing it for
No boats to sing it for
This song is heard no more
And haul away and heave her home
CHORUS:

Can I sing it just one time
Can I sing it just one time
But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
With her picture on a dime
The last lies done in the harbor sun
I dreamed of the years of the deep laden schooners splashing home from the Grand Banks
for the warm wind giving thanks
With half-closed eyes against the sun

Can I sing it just one time
I have heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
right down to the water line
I saw Upper-Canadian concrete and glass
That I looked from the citadel down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to
With new life pushing through
It was in the spring this year of grace
