Lyrics Someone to Love - Christy Moore

Someone to Love

I wish I had someone to love me
Someone to call me his own
Someone to sleep with me nightly
I weary of sleeping alone
Meet me tonight in the moonlight
Meet me tonight all alone
I have a sad story to tell you
I’m telling it under the moon
Tonight is our last night together
Nearest and dearest must part
The love that has bound us together
Is shredded and torn apart
I wish I had ships on the ocean
Lined with silver and gold
Follow the ship that he sails in
A lad of 19 years-old
I wish I had wings of a swallow
Fly out over the sea
Fly to the arms of my true love
And bring him home safely to me
