Secret Harbor - Collins, Judy

i slipped into your harbor 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, i climbed aboard at midnight, the sky was black, the gamble lost, the tables turned, even in the darkness i heard you laugh, and wept as all my bridges burned, there is a secret harbor 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 names, 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, 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, there is a secret harbor 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 names, 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, i sailed out of your harbor, 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, 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, there is a secret harbor 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 names, there is a secret harbor 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 names, i washed my face in falling rain, and swore that i'd find love again
