Lyrics
[verse]
Fishing boats are coming, coming home tonight
Sails are catching sunset, painting them in light
Every wife is waiting down along the quay
Watching for the ones who sailed away to sea
[chorus]
Fishing boats are coming, ring the harbor bell
Tell the little village all is well, all is well
Nets are full of silver, hearts are full of song
Fishing boats are coming, coming home
[verse]
Children run to greet them, barefoot on the sand
Grandpa lights his pipe and waves his weathered hand
Supper's on the table, stories to be told
Of the wind and water and a catch of gold
[chorus]
Fishing boats are coming, ring the harbor bell
Tell the little village all is well, all is well
Nets are full of silver, hearts are full of song
Fishing boats are coming, coming home
[bridge]
Every tide that rolls back in brings them safe to shore
Every prayer that mothers whisper matters all the more
Tonight the whole town gathers by the fire glow
[chorus]
Fishing boats are coming, ring the harbor bell
Tell the little village all is well, all is well
Nets are full of silver, hearts are full of song
Fishing boats are coming, coming home
