The Sailor

Lyrics

The night it is cold,
Snow's killing the ground.
The sea waits in calm,
And she's barely shivering.
The light from the fire,
It shines on your face,
And helps keep me warm,
Though tomorrow I have to leave.

And when I should go, and leave you alone,
Don't hold me back! The sea is my home.

One last night I'll spend
Before the fire with you.
And please don't shed tears,
Though I'd like to shed them, too.

And when I should go, and leave you alone,
Don't hold me back! The sea is my home.
The sea is my home...
