The Last Farewell
They said goodbye
And some they did sigh
The ship it disappeared
Into the night
Another voyage out
Without any doubt
It never got much easier with time
The last man to embark
Kssed a harbour girl
And pressed a keepsake
In her little hand
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
And sure enough
The hurricane blew up
The Hesperus
Was here before their eyes
The swirling tempest grew
And then it overthrew
So many helpless souls into the tide
The orders from the captain
To drop all the sails
Were wasted as the bow began to keel
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
And some they did sigh
The ship it disappeared
Into the night
Another voyage out
Without any doubt
It never got much easier with time
The last man to embark
Kssed a harbour girl
And pressed a keepsake
In her little hand
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
And sure enough
The hurricane blew up
The Hesperus
Was here before their eyes
The swirling tempest grew
And then it overthrew
So many helpless souls into the tide
The orders from the captain
To drop all the sails
Were wasted as the bow began to keel
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
The Last Farewell
Was stirring in their minds
Everyone had heard
Those words before
The Last Farewell
The curse of maritime
Would they see
The home cliffs anymore
