Farewell
One dark and stormy winters night The snow lay on the ground The sailor boy strode on the wharf And the ship was eastward bound His sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a bitter tear And as he pressed her to his breast He whispered in her ear Was any fail the ship set sail His love was standing by She watched the vessel out of sight And the tears bedimmed her eye She prayed to him and heaven above To guide him on his way And all the parting words that night Still echoed loud round the bay Farewell Farewell my own true love May this grief for me till sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be with you my love SongtexteWhen the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy So farewell farewell my own true love On earth we live no longer patiently tell heaven above I'll be back to tell you sure I hope to meet you in the land From far beyond the sky Where you know what the parts are from Thy faithful sailor boy This grief it makes me sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be with you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boy My faithful sailor boy Aus Songtexte Mania
