Oh, oh sweet sailor Cast out in peril on the sea With each and every twilight I looked out and prayed for thee The waves whisper I loved him The waves they whisper true For all of these miles of sailing They never seem to return me to you What gold and riches? What of status and rank? It's the moorhen's call I treasure The beauty of a quiet riverbank Hopeful every longing, for a changing in the tide How to comfort dreamers, through this storm that never subsides A town of thirteen cobles No more than a thousand souls But my heart was happy at anchor Knowing full-well the home I had found For he had her sweetest simile And he had her gold hair And he had my hazel tingled eyes girl A testament some part of me was once fair Hopeful ever longing for a changing in the tide How to comfort dreamers through this storm where Perran died For we whisper in such muted tones Of futures of lost, of what could have grown A fate as cold as the sea You ask me with a quizzical glaze Why I can't stand old photographs You're as green as the maple in May The great ships break their tether ropes And all that's left is skin and bone The ghosts under midsummer's eves Through the howling wind of every storm The sliver light of every dawn The cracks run through each and every seam Such was the song of the Blackbird in May Such was the River's laughter So much has left me my waters salt stained Does this regret have and answer Does this regret have an after
