Lyrics

I'm a fisherman’s daughter
I know the danger and beauty
Of the ocean
Each wave holds a cure and a cruelty
They hauled their boats on the land
But that never kept the man from dancing
Between lights green and red
Port and starboard

I’m a miner’s daughter
He moved a mountain for me
Taught me to dig deeper
Beyond and beneath what the eye could see
He'd say: “Balance your goals, turn your back to the cold and move forward”
Between lights green and red
Port and starboard
When times change the hands don't stop moving
He went back to the ocean just to keep us afloat
And "Down With The Ship" was the headline that broke me
So who am I now?

I'm the fallen man's daughter
And you are the lighthouse I see
From the darkness
Caught between port and starboard
Those damn October winds call to young men
And keep them
Between lights green and red
Port and starboard
Port and starboard
