Harbortown |
Brings me back to a harbortown |
Where me and my true love once lay |
We watched the lights go up and the sun go down |
We let the moon rise where it may |
There I stood, and the river flowed |
There she stood, my black-haired Jill |
The wind addressed her tresses black |
Her long love letters to the hills |
Li-del-li, li-del-lee, how the shoreline meets the sea |
Li-del-li, li-del-lay, how the closing meets the day |
I’m a poor boy, the night is cold |
A meager treasure though it be |
I would turn my restless youth to gold |
That I might spend it all on thee |
Which brings me back to a harbortown |
Where me and my true love once lay |
We watched the lights go up and the sun go down |
We let the moon rise where it may |
Li-del-li, li-del-lee, how the shoreline meets the sea |
Li-del-li, li-del-lay, how the closing meets the day |
