lyrics

Sorry to say, my dear
But I must leave tomorrow
For the ocean it calls to me
And I must go and follow
I must go and follow

chorus ❦
As a sailor loves the sea
That’s how I loved thee
You were never good for me
But your memory won’t let me be
Your memory won’t let me be

Sailing to Cockburn Port
In Blackwing, a topsail schooner
Our lading is black rum and rice
We’ll be gone six months lunar
We’ll be gone six months lunar

repeat chorus ❦

Feeling the starboard spray
In the sun and moons’ direction
In the sea, in the sky, in the sails
In all I see your reflection
I only see your reflection

repeat chorus ❦
