You will wait in the widows peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the back streets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning heat
And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home
We're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know
And you will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all
If seas are dangerous
But you should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarm
We're stronger where
The strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know
They've tethered the ships in the harbor
They've anchored the rest at sea
We're stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know
Stronger than
Before the strain had broken us
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than
A heavy rain to silence us
When there's so much for us, I know
