Lyrics

Come Let Us Sail by Mary Rocap

There is safety on the shoreline
But the salt air she calls to me
Come let us sail the seven seas
Neath the four winds blowing free

He wraps his arms about me
He’s nuzzling my breast
But kisses not my offered lips
Denying his request

If you will not stay then let me go
If I wait for you I’ll die
Leave me now upon this bed
If me, you’ll not lay beside

And did we get what we thought we chose
The night we parted ways
I traded love for security
He for the beckoning bay

Tis true I found another
Thought I’d less of a heart to give
And you, you found your prevailing wind
And on the sea you live
And on the sea you live
On the lonely sea you live
