Dan Fogelberg Lyrics for Song: The Reach
 Lyrics for Album: Portrait: Music Of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 [1997]
 
 
 
 25140>It's Maine and it's Autumn
 
 The birches have just begun turning
 
 It's life and it's dying
 
 The lobster men's boats come returning
 
 
 
 With the catch of the day in their holds
 
 And the young boys cold and complaining
 
 The fog meets the beaches
 
 And out on the Reach it is raining
 
 
 
 It's father and son
 
 It's the way it's been done since the old days
 
 It's hauling by hand ten miles out
 
 From the land where their chow waits
 
 
 
 And the days are all lonely and long
 
 And the seas grow so stormy and strong but
 
 The Reach will sing welcome
 
 As homeward they hurry along
 
 
 
 And the morning will blow away
 
 As the waves crash and fall
 
 And the Reach like a siren sings
 
 As she beckons and calls
 
 
 
 As the coastline recedes from view
 
 And the seas swell and roll
 
 I will take from the Reach
 
 All that she has to teach
 
 To the depths of my soul
 
 
 
 The wind brings a chill
 
 There's a frost on the sill in the morning
 
 It creeps through the door
 
 On the edge of the shore ice is forming
 
 
 
 Soon the northers will bluster and blow
 
 And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
 
 And the Reach will lie frozen
 
 For the lost and unchosen to row
 
 
 
 And the morning will blow away
 
 As the waves crash and fall
 
 And the Reach like a siren sings
 
 As she beckons and calls
 
 
 
 As the coastline recedes from view
 
 And the seas swell and roll
 
 I will take from the Reach
 
 All that she has to teach
 
 To the depths of my soul
 
 25140>
