Windward Away |
Love will come and love will go |
As the seas roll on forever |
And lost love has the everlasting flow |
Of a neverending river |
And it’s not an easy reckoning |
But sometimes I have the notion |
That womenkind, in heart and mind |
Sails on a restless ocean |
For a tallship came from windward away |
On a gray Atlantic morning |
She showed no lights or colours |
In the hour before the dawning |
On a full-rigged run to the rising sun |
She reached our starboard quarter |
And I’ll ne’r forget the name she wore |
She was called the Neptune’s Daughter |
Her sails were white as ivory |
And her rigging sang like harp strings |
Her spars were black as ebony |
And her wheels spun free of lashings |
Her cloak of gray was the spindrift spray |
As she split the waves asunder |
I can see her now as she crossed our bow |
While we gazed in silent wonder |
Her course was set by destiny |
And no helmsman’s hand could change her |
We hailed her and we signalled |
«You are standing into danger» |
But she left us free on the westerly |
And I watched her pale sails sinking |
And if only I was upon her deck |
Was all that I was thinking |
Love will come and love will go |
As the years roll on forever |
And lost love has the everlasting flow |
Of a neverending river |
And it’s not an easy reckoning |
But sometimes I have the notion |
That womenkind, in her heart and mind |
Is a tall ship on the ocean |
