《Safe in the Harbour》（平安港湾）这首歌，由著名澳大利亚民谣歌手Eric Bogle创作，创作于1984年，收录于专辑《Where The Wind Blows》。这首歌背后蕴含着深刻的意义，它是为了纪念加拿大传奇民谣歌手Stan Rogers在1983年不幸去世而作。Stan Rogers的突然离世，让整个民谣界都感到震惊和悲哀，Eric Bogle用这首充斥诗意的歌曲来表达对逝者的哀思，同时也寄托了对所有漂泊者深深的祝福。

歌曲的歌词充斥了意象，将人生比作海洋航行，水手象征着那些勇敢追逐梦想的人，而港湾则代表着最终的归宿和安宁。歌中唱到“但对于每个水手，终有抛锚之时，收起风帆，系紧缆绳。你这深水梦想家，你的旅程已经结束，你终于平安地回到了港湾”。 这不仅仅是对Stan Rogers的告别，也是对所有经历风雨、最终找到归宿的人的抚慰。

在情感表达上，《Safe in the Harbour》充斥了淡淡的忧伤和对生命的敬畏。它既有对逝者的怀念，也有对生者的祝福，鼓励人们勇敢追逐梦想，同时也提醒人们珍惜生命，找到内心的平静。

INTRO:  G,  C,  G,  C,   F,  C,  G,  C,   C
     C            Em          F            C

Have you stood by the ocean, on a diamond-hard morning
G            Dm        C            G

And felt the hor-izon stir deep in your soul
        C         Em            F                C

Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut through blue water
     Em           Dm        G              C     (*)

And been gripped by a fever you just can't con-trol
  C             Em           F            C

Oh to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls
Em                Dm              C           G     (*)
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind
  C          Em           F             C

Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer's evening
      Em           Dm          C         G       C

Watch the red sun fall burning, be-neath the earth's rim
CHORUS:
C        Em            F            G

But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
C           Em         F              G
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
C          G             F          G

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
   C           G          F     *

You're safe in the harbour at last
   C           G          F     *

You're safe in the harbour at last
NOTES:

Commemorates Stan Roger's tragic death in 1983

SAFE IN THE HARBOUR (page 2)
C            Em           F             C
Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers
 G           Dm           C              G

Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds
        C                   Em         F         C

Who in ther hearts know they'll never sail over deep water
Em           Dm                 G                C      (*)
To search for a treasure they're a-fraid they won't find
C            Em             F              C
So in sheltered harbours, they cling to their anchors
Em              Dm          C               G      (*)
Bank down their boilers and shut down their steam
C            Em            F                C

And wait for the sailors to re-turn with bright treasures
      Em           Dm         C       G     C

That will fan the dull embers and fire up their dreams
CHORUS:
C        Em            F            G

But to every sailor, comes time to drop anchor
C           Em         F              G
Haul in the sails, and make the lines fast
C          G             F          G

You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
   C           G          F     *

You're safe in the harbour at last
   C           G          F     *

You're safe in the harbour at last
C            Em           F            C

And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers
     G             Dm          C          G

Take the gold from the sailors and turn it to dross
    C        Em              F           C

They're men in a prison, they're men without vision
  Em       Dm      G          C     (*)

Whose only hor-izon is profit and loss
    C                 Em        F               C

So when storm clouds come sailing a-cross your blue ocean
 Em           Dm           C                G      (*)

Hold fast to your dreaming for all that your're worth
   C               Em                   F         C

For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors
     Em                Dm                 C       G  C

Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth
