Harbor Lyrics

Young man out of harbor

Traveled weary weary weeks

Gonna find him a good job

And a bed to rest his feet

Bet it'll be along

He'll work hard but he'll beat back

All the doubters I know he'll make it

That great fortune that he seeks

I know he'll make it to that great fortune that he seeks

Now a few years older

Got a home and weekly bread

Got warmth and a way to get around

And a roof over his head

"Gonna find me the perfect woman

We'' go off and get wed" he said

"I'll beat back all the doubters I know I'll make it

That great fortune where I head"

I know I'll make it to that great fortune in my head

And he rode up north

Looked down below

He tried to get higher

Then the sky up above

And he looked over yonder

And he searched under stones

He'll find that great big fortune

Don't you worry don't you know

Well the days they all dried up

And the job is upped and gone away

The great love of his life done

And left away with nothin' much left to say

"I try to forget em' Didn't need them anyway"

He says "I'll beat back all the doubters

To that great fortune someday

I know I'll make it to that fortune anyway"

Now he an't so picky

Bout where he lays his feet

He stopped starting fires

In all the people that he meets

He learned about falling down

Finding strength where he was weak

And he knows failure's got nothing to do

With being defeated

He's still hunting treasure and

It's hard to give up gold

He's still resisting

All the good things that he's told

And he looked over yonder

And he searched under stones

He'll find that great big fortune

Don't you worry don't you know

He sat there and he faced me long

Out of breath but there he lay

He said he wished he still had something that

He could give away

He said "I never meant to hurt no one

And I hope you'll forgive me

If I never see your face again

I hope you'll let me

Give you all the treasure that I've found

All the pennies

From the doubters that I met along

My long troubled journey"

And he rode up north

Looked down below

He tried to get higher

Then the sky up above

And he looked over yonder

And he searched under stones

He'll find that great big fortune

Don't you worry don't you know

Old man out of harbor

Traveled weary weeks

He found him some good jobs

And a bed to rest his feet

Bet it'll be along

He worked hard and he beat back

All the doubters I know he made it

That great fortune that he seeks

I sure hope he made it

To that great fortune that he seeks
