We'll Carry On

If the waves roll rough as in days before
 Still, we put our boats to sea
 The take has been tough
 We're counting on more
 To make the season pay
 ♪
 It was back in '83
 My brothers and me
 Laid our poor father in his grave
 Even though he's dead and gone
 His voice lives on
 In the hiss and the pull of the waves
 We'll carry on, carry on
 Sing these words
 Through all the damage done
 The old salt would say
 I am my father's son
 Come hell or high water
 We'll carry on
 ♪
 In smoky gray rooms
 Beneath bare lightbulbs
 The accusations fly
 What the hell do they want
 They've taken enough
 From this way of life once mine
 We'll carry on, carry on
 Sing these words
 Through all the damage done
 The old salt would say
 I am my father's son
 Come hell or high water
 We'll carry on
 ♪
 It's a merciless scheme
 Not a fisherman's dream
 The way the tide has turned
 For not long before
 By these restless shores
 A man could his living earn
 We'll carry on, carry on
 Sing these words
 Through all the damage done
 The old salt would say
 I am my father's son
 Come hell or high water
 We'll carry on
 Hell or high water
 Hell or high water
 Hell or high water
 We'll carry on
