It was in_ the spring_ this year of grace_ with_ new l ife pushing thro ugh_
That I looked_ from the Citadel down_ to the narrows and asked_ what it's coming to_
I saw_ Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water l ine_
And I heard an old song_ down on Fisherman's Wharf_
Can I sing it ju st_ one time_

With half closed eyes_ against the sun_ for the warm w ind giving thanks_
I dreamed_ of the years_ of the deep-laden schooners thrashing home_ from the Grand Bank s_
The last lies done_ in the harbour sun_ with her picture_ on a d ime_
But I heard an old song_ down on Fisherman's Wharf_
Can I sing it ju st_ one time_ Ca n I sing i t ju st_ one time_
Then haul_ away and heave _ her home_ this song_ is heard no more_
No boats_ to sing it for_
No sails_ to sing it for_
There rises now a sin_- gle ti de_ of tourists_ p assing through_
We traded old ways_ for the new_
Old ways_ for the new_ Old ways_ for the new_
For the | ne w__

Now you ask "What's this Ro mantic boy_ who laments what's done and gone _
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gales sang an awful song_
But my fathers knew of_ wind and tide_ and my blood is Maritime _
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf_
Can I sing it just_ one time_ Can I sing it just_ one time_
Then haul_ away and heave _ her home_ this song_ is heard no more_
No boats_ to sing it for_
No sails_ to sing it for_
There rises now a sin_- gle ti de_ of tourists_ p assing through_
We traded old ways_ for the new_
Old ways_ for the new_ Old ways_ for the new_
For the | ne w__

So it was in_ the spring_ this year of grace_ with new life pushing through_
That I looked from the Citadel_ down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to_
I saw_ Upper Canadian concrete and glass_ right down to the water line_
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf_
Can I sing it just_ one time_ Can I sing it just_ one time_
Can I sing it just_ one time_ Can I sing it just_ one time_
