Fairfield Crane lyrics
I was born in the shadow of a Fairfield Crane
When the blast of a freighter's horn
Was the very first sound that reached my ear
On the morning I was born
As I lay and I listened to the shipyard sound
Coming out of the great unknown
I was sung to sleep by the mother tongue
That was to be my own
And when I grew to be one year old
I heard the sirens scream
As the city watched in the blacked-out night
A wandering searchlight's beam
And then at last I awoke and rose
To my first day of peace
For I'd learned that the battle to stay alive
Was never going to see
Part of these releases
