Calm be the sea by morning's first light, As birds wings in feathered flight Boldly stride gale an' gentle breeze To earn a crust from hostile seas - from hostile seas Birds castin' eye to the lass in the surge Weeping a solemn dirge. Her watery eyes doth tell no lies Her sorrow's seen clear from the skies - clear from the skies Please my love come back to me, Godspeed my love, my dear. I pray you will come back to me Your lonely fisher lass. Her lovers fate at tempests swirl Thus grieve our fisher girl The gulls they vow the oceans wide to scour Bringing her news in darkest hour - in darkest hour By noon the stricken ship was found Halted and run aground. On watered rocks that sharp as needles be honed Lay fisher boy by death now be owned - by death now be owned Please my love come back to me, Godspeed my love, my dear. I pray you will come back to me Your lonely fisher lass. Her locket so proud around his neck Now loosened by skillful peck Carried to the shore by solemn bill To fisher lass who stands there still - Who stands there still Come next morn, a single white cloth Cradled in oceans froth. Lovers by the cold dark waves now caressed, All left behind a fisher lass' dress - a fisher lass' dress
I absolutely LOVE your music! Also your general performance, costumes and stuff... I hope I can someday listen to you live, maybe share some ale and sing together... Also I'm planning to do a cover of this song soon! Hope I can be half as good! Cheers!
