Lost In The Harbour lyrics

Over here the ladies
All want sweet perfume
But there`s never a rose
And over there
The roses are frightened to bloom
So they never can grow
And over here they need wool
For weaving baby`s new clothes
But nobody has any wool
And the sheep are all lost
In the harbour

And over here
They want diamonds to wear
But there aren`t any here
And over there
Everyone`s hiding their tears
But they`re crying inside
And the wall won`t come down
Til they`re no longer afraid of themselves
If you don`t believe me ask yourselves
And then I can come down
To the harbour
Down to the harbour

And then I will fill the ocean
Back up with my tears
I still have a couple more years
And then I can come back
To the harbour
Down to the harbour
