lyrics

Haul it Up

Tuning Open B
No Capo
Key B

EABF#BE

It's been a year since we cast up here
In the land of easy pleasure
We beached our souls on the sands of love
And we had it all in good measure

But we left home and security
And some left their women crying
To seek our fortune across the sea
Or die like men in the trying

So haul it up, haul it up, haul it up and let's make sail for the far horizon
Haul it up, haul it up, haul it up and let's make sail for the far horizon

Well wind and fortune drove us here
We heard the sirens calling
A gentle breeze and a life of ease
Into a velvet trap we were falling

But in brotherhood and blood we swore
To sail to the end of the world
And time and tide will wait no more
Let's get that sail unfurled

And haul it up, haul it up, haul it up and let's make sail for the far horizon

And now it's time to take our leave
And put the rising sun behind us
A silver wake on an endless sea
That is where you'll find us

For nothing comes to those who hide
No riches to your door
So let's haul anchor on the rising tide
And ride those winds once more

And haul it up, haul it up, haul it up and let's make sail for the far horizon
