Lyrics
Out on the waves where the sun meets the shining blue sea,
There's a fine motor yacht cruising wild and free,
it is the mighty "Late Edition," her gelcoat shining bright,
Rob's pride and joy, her roaring Cat engines a true delight.
Oh, Rob, young Rob he's got salt water in his veins,
Chasing dreams where the fish swim deep below six chains,
He loves the thrill, the cast of his line with its big lead weight,
But now life's about shipping and moving that freight.
With the wind in his hair, he'd power her away,
Game fishing adventures, oh, those golden fishing days,
Friends couldn't join, they'd drift apart,
Boredom crept in, weighed heavy on his heart.
Oh, Rob, young Rob he's got salt water in his veins,
Chasing dreams where the fish swim deep below six chains,
He loves the thrill, the cast of his line with its big lead weight,
But now life's about shipping and moving that freight.
He turned his passion back upon his trade,
Rob built a shipping business, fortunes made,
But every wave that crashes and rolls,
Calls him back to the sea, where his spirit unfolds.
Now the "Late Edition" sits, waiting in her bed,
For the times when Rob could be drift fishing instead,
But the tides of work keep him on the shore,
Still he dreams of fishing, oh, he longs for much more.
Oh, Rob, young Rob he's got salt water in his veins,
Chasing dreams where the fish swim deep below six chains,
He loves the thrill, the cast of his line with its big lead weight,
But now life's about shipping and moving that freight.
So here's to our "Late Edition," the memories she brings,
To the open sea, where Robs heart still sings,
Rob's heart wants to be back in the waves so free,
Soon he'll steam out, six friends and him out on the wide blue sea
Late Edition, my grand Late Edition I will see you again real soon
