[Verse 1]
We're taking on the water, diesel and stores
Layin' up a while before I'm back on board
They're patching her up to go fishin' again, fishin' again
Weldin' her rudder, scrubbin' her keel
Scars on her belly need time to heal
In the dock with the trawlermen
[Verse 2]
I know all the people, there's nobody new
Soon we'll be leavin' with the same old crew
On the greener water, the tumbling sea
They ain't running like the good old days
Time's just slipping down the old slipways
In the dock so dear to me
[Chorus]
Dark is the night
And I need a guiding light to keep me
From founderin' on the rocks
My only prayer
Is just to see you there at the end
Of my wandering back in the dock
La la
Lalala
Laa lala
Laa lala
