Lost In the Harbour

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 growAnd over here they need wool

For weaving their baby's new clothes

But nobody has any wool

And the sheep are all lost in the harbor

Lost in the harborAnd 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 insideAnd the wall won't come down

Till they're no longer afraid of themselves

And if you don't believe me ask yourselves

And then I can come down to the harbor

Down to the harbor
