lyrics

Home
Oh the shore in sight!
And the war is won
Far as I’m concerned
The day you’ll be my wedded bride
Oh an olive branch for to kiss the land!
All my kingdom for the flood!
Hand in hand we’ll start over
As any yeoman does

For to sanctify
The ones we’ve left behind
The love we’ll learn in time
Pray for the better
Suffer the worse
My God
The paper
The cotton
The unborn tide
But now the light grows shy
While I await on your reply

I pray the angels take you at eighty-seven
Hold you close and straight to heaven
Angels take you at eighty-seven

So
To the days gone by
And to all the boys
I have loved before
May this be your lullaby
Oh it sounds to me
In the quiet hours
When all is right
And nothing’s still
I think of you seldom
And I always will

Tell your jealous wife
To ease her lonesome mind
We share no earthly ties
Save for the sweater
I always intend to return
The letter you’re never going to write
I hold your unwrit verse
To where it hurts

And pray the angels take you at eighty-seven
Hold you close and straight to Heaven
Angels take you at eighty-seven

Still I’ve kept my vows
In lonely rooms and empty hours
Wept for new beginnings
In the night there comes a temptress singing
Rise up my darling, my beautiful one
The winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
Day breaks and the shadows flee away
And they say
Ah -
And they say
Ah -
