What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A cold moon was rising the sea was flecked with foam
2
When I thought I heard a whisper on the radio-telephone
3
Saying "˜Heaven is no distance "“ its harbour lights are home
4
But if we fly together we will never die alone'
5
I had a brother in the army, another went to sea
6
And both of them went better men to better ends than me
7
One went down off Greenland and one at Foux-Jolies
8
But when I go west tonight then it's united we will be
9
And it's hours "˜til dawn and the morning's calm but the boys are off through the bay
10
Back to the Bight "˜til broad and bright comes the brief respite of day
11
And though sticks and stones will break your bones and fire will blow you away
12
To all the call came clearly and all the cracks had gathered to the fray
13
Ground mist arriving was mingling with the steam
14
And the curses of the ground crew and torpedo-arming teams
15
Some of them are strangers but stranger men than me
16
Have left their lives in foreign lands and run away to sea
17
To see the sunrise in the morning turning soon to rain
18
And I've been searching through the blackout for the Southern Cross in vain
19
I've been chasing after danger, racing without aim
20
Until time and tide and terror come to take me home again
