Verse

The fog rolls over the wooden pier.

Туман стелется над деревянным причалом.

The keeper waits beside the empty pier.

Смотритель ждёт возле пустого причала.

It waits for every missing face.

Он ждет каждое пропавшее лицо.

He searches for ghosts in the harbor.

Он ищет призраков в гавани.

Chorus

He calls the boat Mary by John's name.

Он зовёт лодку «Мэри» именем Джона.

The harbor speaks to those who are gone.

Гавань говорит с теми, кто ушел.

The harbor speaks to those who are gone.

Гавань говорит с теми, кто ушел.

Verse

A rusty chain sinks beneath the waves.

Ржавая цепь тонет под волнами.

The water holds the secrets they keep.

Вода хранит тайны, которые они берегут.

Old boards moan a sailor’s plea.

Старые доски стонут мольбой моряка.

The currents took that sailor away.

Течения унесли того моряка.

Chorus

He calls the boat Mary by John's name.

Он зовёт лодку «Мэри» именем Джона.

The harbor speaks to those who are gone.

Гавань говорит с теми, кто ушел.

The harbor speaks to those who are gone.

Гавань говорит с теми, кто ушел.

Bridge

The wood remembers a heavy tread.

Дерево помнит тяжелую походку.

The keeper keeps their names alive.

Смотритель хранит их имена.
