Judy Collins - Secret Harbor [Intro] [Verse 1] I slipped into your harbour past the pirate ships The lights were low my sails were down The seal of sacred silence was on my lips I prayed the storms were weathered now [Verse 2] I climbed aboard at midnight the sky was black The gamble lost the tables turned And even in the darkness I heard you laugh And wept as all my bridges burned [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Verse 3] You said how can you be so innocent You were my demon all the while I saw the skull and crossbones on your mast The predator behind the smile [Verse 4] I cursed you as the wind blew through my sails I loved you till the moonlight drowned I sought you through the streets and waterways My calling for you still resounds [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Bridge] You wooed me with your wicked smile that night And then you promised me the moon I saw it floating in the waters deep And then it disappeared too soon [Verse 5] I sailed out of your harbour through the rising tide My memories were filled with pain I drifted towards the sunrise lost in fog Your echo had me wrapped in chains [Verse 6] Your promises were drifting like men who’d drowned The bitter water beckoned me I wrapped the shadows round me once again And sailed through storms that set me free (set me free) set me free [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Chorus] There is a secret harbour somewhere north A place where ships are not in flames A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes A place where no one knows your name [Outro] I washed my face in falling rain And swore that I’d find love again_______

La chanson évoque un voyage émotionnel tumultueux, où le protagoniste navigue dans des attachements complexes, oscillant entre amour et douleur. Dans un port secret, il cherche un refuge, loin des tempêtes et des déceptions, un lieu où sa véritable identité pourrait émerger. Les promesses d'amour se transforment en illusions, et bien que le souvenir de l'autre l'entrave, il aspire à la liberté, se révélant à la fin déterminé à chercher l'amour authentique malgré les blessures du passé. On sent un sentiment de quête, où l’image du port devient une métaphore de l’espoir et de la recherche d’un lieu paisible, loin des souffrances. La tonalité se teinte de mélancolie, rappelant que même les rêves peuvent parfois se dissiper, mais que l’espoir d'un nouveau départ demeure.
