Mersey Tales

Lyrics

Looking from Port Sunlight, where they make the soap
Across the Mersey where they used to make rope
2000 miles of cable, morse code enabled
The Great Eastern and stories told.

You’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Many thousand miles from home
You’ll never walk alone

Staring out from Port Sunlight in the driving rain
Across the Mersey where they used to make chains
And the building of an empire on a workforce of slaves
Monuments of trade
For those that settled, those that remained.

If the Mersey told the stories it sent to sea
There’s more than just a flagpole outside Liverpool FC
As the world sits down to the Premier league

Looking back at Port Sunlight through sugar and cotton
Across the Mersey, the Liver Bird forgotten
See it in the photos, the faces, the whips
Every three days the ships
Leaving and arriving to ticker tape.

You’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Many thousand miles from home
You’ll never walk alone
We cannot walk alone
