"Haul Away"
It was a windless night when you left the ship You never were a steady bold one
I gave my hand, ah, but you did slip I'm a living man and you're a cold one
Haul away, haul away for home
My love's as fair as a girl can be My wedding ring is a heavy gold one
Now you lie alone in the deep dark sea I'm a living man and you're a cold one
Haul away, haul away for home
The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze To fill our sails and end the doldrums Our lucky ship speeds across the sea
I'm a living man and you're a cold one Haul away, haul away for home
“There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world But we live in different ones”
From “Brothers in Arms”

The themes of his songs
They had a last supper the day of the beaching She's a dead ship sailing skeleton crew
The galley is empty, the stove pots are cooling With what's left of the stew
The time is approaching, the captain moves over The hangman steps in to do what he's paid for
With the wind down the tide She goes proud ahead steaming
And he drives her hard into the shore
From “So Far From The Clyde”
