When I was a boy my dad was a commercial fisherman.
My mum ran a shop called, 'Cliff Road Stores' in the same village.
Every time my dad set off for sea, I would cry and ask him to take me along.
I remember vividly that one day he came back home, probably because he'd forgotten his flask or something, and said, "You were crying so loudly that I could hear you down at the harbour! Come on then, wanna trip?" And off we went...
This song is about that day.
