Judy Collins - Secret Harbor [Intro] [Verse 1] I slipped into your harbour past the pirate ships The lights were low my sails were down The seal of sacred silence was on my lips I prayed the storms were weathered now [Verse 2] I climbed aboard at midnight the sky was black The gamble lost the tables turned And even in the darkness I heard you laugh And wept as all my bridges burned [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Verse 3] You said how can you be so innocent You were my demon all the while I saw the skull and crossbones on your mast The predator behind the smile [Verse 4] I cursed you as the wind blew through my sails I loved you till the moonlight drowned I sought you through the streets and waterways My calling for you still resounds [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Bridge] You wooed me with your wicked smile that night And then you promised me the moon I saw it floating in the waters deep And then it disappeared too soon [Verse 5] I sailed out of your harbour through the rising tide My memories were filled with pain I drifted towards the sunrise lost in fog Your echo had me wrapped in chains [Verse 6] Your promises were drifting like men who’d drowned The bitter water beckoned me I wrapped the shadows round me once again And sailed through storms that set me free (set me free) set me free [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Outro] I washed my face in falling rain And swore that I’d find love again_______
