ONE MORE BEER, ONE MORE KORN
[Verse 1]
The harbor never really sleeps
Rain rolls through the night
Cranes stand like dark shadows
over freezing water
Salt sticks to his rough hands
Tiredness in his eyes
For twenty years he’s carried cargo
for ships that were never his
[Pre-Chorus]
Friday evening
same old tavern
same seat by the glass
Outside the foghorn calls
inside the Korn still burns
[Chorus]
One more beer
one more Korn
one last look at the light
Outside the cold North Sea is calling
but he won’t hear her tonight
One more beer
one more Korn
rain beats on the glass
And somewhere deep inside him
dies the dream from last night
[Verse 2]
Heavy jackets on the hooks
smell of fish and smoke
Men go silent in the storm
staring at their drinks
He reaches for the final bills
counts what still remains
Too much to die
too little to live
Back home wait the children
and a tired wife
who stopped raising her voice
when life became too heavy
And his dream slowly sinks
to the bottom of his glass
[Bridge]
Beyond the dike lies black freedom
wind moves across the sea
And somewhere out there his old dream
still sails through storm and rain
[Final Chorus]
One more beer
one more Korn
and the wind cuts through the night
Between harbor lights and storms
he spent his whole damn life
One more beer
one more Korn
but somewhere deep remains
The dream of one small ship
that finally bears his name
