A Lonesome Sailor's Song

This is a lonesome song for two
With no one to sing it back to you
This is a message to carry on
To the love my life that I lost in the blue

Where did you go?
Oh if I'd known
If only I'd known

Well I turned my head
Only for moment
And the waves, they threw you overboard

This is a lonely sailor's melody
A howl in the dark and a cry through the night
I'm so lonely can't you see?
My love won't you please come back to me?

Oh my darling
All this time that I sing, I sing for you my dear
I sing cause I need you near

And I turned my head
Only for a moment
And the waves, they threw you

Oh my darling
You dance in the wind and you sing to the stars
Oh my darling
Will I see you again?

This is a sad sad tune you hear
Cause the minutes take hours on this lonely sea
I'm so tired I can hardly steer
The sails above my only company

In the distant fog I see the rising of the tide
As I count my breath I feel the fear build up inside
But in this moment clear I hear the faintest cry
It says come away with me my dear, it's time to say goodbye

And I know
That after the fight
On this cold and dreary night
The dark is swallowed by the light
There you stand before my eyes

My darling
We dance in the wind and we sing to the stars
Oh my darling
How long has it been?
Oh my darling
We dance in the wind and we sing to the stars
Oh my brothers
When I see you again

This is beautiful song for two
And my love will sing it back for you
This is a message to carry on
To the brothers I wait for, I wait here for you
