A trawlerman refers to a fisherman who works on a commercial fishing boat, specifically a trawler. Vashti Bunyan writes from the perspective of the fisherman to explore feelings of longing for family and the comfort of coming home. The song is one of three tracks from the album co-written with Bunya...
[Verse 1]
I love coming home from far across the sea
I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee
See how my eldest boy has grown whilst I've been away
See here's a boat I've whittled for thee, especially for thee
I've thought of you every day
[Verse 2]
I love coming home from far across the sea
And taking up my walking cane and passing through the trees
I wander on the hillside, the doggie at my heel
The bracken waves a welcome to me
"Where have you been? We've missed you a great deal"
[Refrain]
I love coming home from far across the sea
I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee
