Sailor falls in love with a girl in Montreal Canada while on port of call. Immigration won't allow him to stay in the country.
Story behind the song
Done with the idea of emulating some of the style of a Tom Petty ballad.
Lyrics
In the breakers misty blow
the same old heartache strikes again
a heavy swelling in my throat
far away from tender hands.
In a sure way I'll stay cold
on a windswept deck away
from the memories big and bold
of a golden yesterday.
A piece of heaven in my soul
turns to memories of the past
where a distant fire glows,
a love light candle calls me back.
In the breaker's misty blow
the same old heartache fills my eyes
In the breaker's misty blow
A voice is calling from the brine.
Here I stand alone again
ten thousand sailed miles away
with a cold and restless wind
blowing on my tear stained face.
Echoes roaming through my mind
of loving times at port of call
with the girl I left behind
on the shores of Montreal.
There's no lighthouse to be found
no immigration made for me
away from her I'm ocean bound
sailing on a cold gray sea.
In the breakers misty blow
the same old heartache fills my eyes.
In the breakers misty blow
I'll leave the light that fills the sky.
