Grey Foggy Day

Click Here for guitar tabs (two sets).

Been some years ago
Since I left my island
To go to the mainland,
Like the old folks would say;
As I walked up the gangway
And stood on the starboard
And I gazed at the harbour
On a grey foggy day.

Summer days they were warmer then
When we laughed with the old fishermen,
And they cursed when the fog rolled in,
Then they made up the hay;
It's been more than a long, long time
Since I held you and called you mine,
And we waited for the sun to shine
On a grey foggy day.

To wake in the early morn
To the sound of the old fog horn,
And wait for the men to return
With their boats in the bay;
All these things I don't see no more
When I lived on the old cape shore,
And I gazed on the boats on their moor
On a grey foggy day.

And as long as my heart doesn't break
From those old memories,
Old lover and old use-to-be,
I'll come home to stay;
I can still hear the ocean roar
Through the hills on the old cape shore,
There are no fishing boats anymore,
It's a grey foggy, foggy day.

And I pray that the sun will shine ....

On this grey foggy day.
