Johnny Fraser's light

"Wer einmal im Herbst die raue See, die Winde und Nebel rund um die britischen und irischen Inseln an Bord eines Schiffes erlebt, der hält Ausschau nach den Lichtern des Fraser- Bootes. "

In the storm of ´48, there were lights down by the harbourline, And a crowd of people, running around and a woman was crying,
She was Johnny Fraser`s wife, with a torch in her hand and tears in her eyes, Saw the incoming boats, they had always been ten but now they were nine, Now they were nine, now they were nine


When our sailors reached the land, we were told of all that happened outside, In the eye of the storm, Billy Lorimer`s ship was lost in the night,
Johnny Fraser he went back, with his lights he tried to be Billy´s guide, Saved the other mens´ souls, but his own ship was wrecked and the sea took his life, Sea took his life, sea took his life

Save me from the water, for the storm will take our lives,
With the help of Johnny Fraser, you follow his lights, follow his lights,
Johnny Fraser`s lights


Last night we went out, though the forecast told of storm from the north,
Thought we`d manage one catch, early enough to hide in the forth,
But the stormtide reached our boat, we lost sails and catch and all of our oars,
Heard the boys praying for to take the ship just back to the shores,
Back to the shores, back to the shores


Save me from the water, for the storm will take our lives,
With the help of Johnny Fraser, you follow his lights, follow his lights,
Johnny Fraser`s lights


We were caught by the storm and there was no hope to escape,
Suddenly some lights coming up and the storm began to fade,
`t was a wreck without sails and an old man stood in it`s bow,
"I will show, you the way home, all the way home", Johnny Fraser`s lights


Save me from the water, for the storm will take our lives,
With the help of Johnny Fraser, you follow his lights, follow his lights,
Johnny Fraser`s lights
