There's a moon tonight
Above the sea
The sky lit purple
Not a cloud to be seen
Lights in the distance
Away up the beach
Lovers walking hand in hand
Throwing pebbles into the sea
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices say to me
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices say
Just an old man
Staring at the sky
Sitting by the nets
Where the boats come in
Along the shore
They're burning fires
Flames flicker light into the cold night air
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices say to me
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices say
And he just stays
To watch the sea
Counting all the stars
As the tide comes in
Where young boys play
Along the shore
Skimming stones and playing young boy's games
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices as they sing to me
Ten o'clock and all is well
I can hear the voices singing
