It was long before the dawn
On that fateful Christmas morn
When the warning drum had turned us from our beds
We ran toward the shore
Where the towering waters roar
And the sinking ship adrift off the head
He 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

Pull away now pull away
Pull away now pull away
There’ll be twelve more at the table for lunch on Christmas Day

So give it all you got now

Pull away

Give it all you’ve got on Christmas Day
