You have a misty lorn in your moss-green eyes,
wait for me, my Rose Gray,
as it's the King crab season in the wintry
cruel Bering Sea.
My promise of love I'll keep,
and I'll bring you a sterling silver
engagement ring adorned with thistle,
my Scots-Irish gift from God's Highlands,
as it's the King crab season in the wintry
cruel Bering Sea.
My soft, delicate Rose Gray,
snow clouds gather,
heavy with silver,
and I dream a fisherman's vision,
of the pallid moon of mourning,
and the deep of the tossing waves,
mariner's spirits in her keep,
the cold, cold salt spray stinging
my chapped lips,
as our vessel, "Emma," struggles
mightily,
hold me as we sleep in our harbor home,
as it's the King crab season in the wintry
cruel Bering Sea.
Keep in company with the other women
who gather patiently on the docks,
My Rose Gray, this is our life,
we'll rejoice in the mariner's cathedral
bells that will peal you're my bride,
yet, now, I must go out to harvest
with my captain and crew,
I'll keep myself warm dreaming of
your purest voice of Scottish Gaelic,
as it's the King crab season in the wintry
cruel Bering Sea. ~
