Pull Away

It was long before the dawn, On that fateful Christmas morn

When the warning drum had turned us from our beds

We ran towards the shore, Where the towering waters roared

And the sinking ship adrift up ahead

She was heading for the spit, Where her hull would surely split

And the signal flashed and flickered in the spray

Pull away now, Pull away, Pull away now, Pull away

Half the world is waiting for the dawn of Christmas Day

Pull away

So we leapt into the night, when the storm was at its height

It’s enough to make a godless sea dog pray

But the only thing we knew, was to save that stricken crew

So give it all you’ve got and pull away

Pull away now, Pull away , Pull away now, pull away

If we still have souls to save, We will crest that mighty wave

Pull away

Christmas morning breaks, children start to wake

Every table has an empty chair

Salvation in the air for the news they hope to hear

While the band assembles in the square

So we steered them back to town, As the mighty ship went down

And all the Christmas bells rang out along the bay

We’ll make it back to land We’ve rescued every hand

Pull away now, Pull away, Pull away now, pull away

They’ll know that we are saved, when we’re seen above the waves

Pull Away

Pull away now, Pull away , Pull away now, pull away

Half the world is waiting, For the dawn of Christmas Day

Pull away

And pull away now, Pull away, Pull away now, pull away

There’ll be 12 more at the table for lunch on Christmas Day

So give it all you got now Pull away

So give it all you got on Christmas Day
