Sails Of Silver |
Fair maiden in the garden walking along |
What is it makes her to weep and to moan? |
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea |
Where only long breezes reach out to me |
Chorus: And I’ll set my sails of silver |
And I’ll steer towards the sun |
And you, false love, will weep for me |
When I’m gone, when I’m gone, when I’m gone |
The maid in a garden, how can it be? |
I’m staring seaward but what does she see? |
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk |
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk |
(Key change) Chorus 3x and fade |
