[Verse 1]
It's Maine and it's autumn
The birches have just begun turning
It's life and it's dying
The lobstermen's boats come returning
With the catch of the day in their holds
And the young boys cold and complaining
The fog meets the beaches
And out on the Reach it is raining
[Verse 2]
It's father and son
It's the way it's been done since the old days
It's hauling by hand
Ten miles out from the land where their chow waits
And the days are all lonely and long
And the seas grow so stormy and strong but...
The Reach will sing welcome
As homeward they hurry along
[Chorus]
And the morning will blow away
As the waves crash and fall
And the Reach like a siren sings
As she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view
And the seas swell and roll
I will take from the Reach
All that she has to teach
To the depths of my soul
It's Maine and it's autumn

And out on the Reach it is raining

And the Reach like a siren sings
As she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view

I will take from the Reach
All that she has to teach
To the depths of my soul
