leland sundries - the tide (love letter in scrimshaw) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i hear the echoes of you on the docks
see your silhouette on cobblestones
but for your hair or as the mast is raised
i listen for your voice in sorrow’s tone

oh leave the warm coals of the fire in my heart
and your flag aloft and unadorned
cos some distant day when you are wandering back this way
for you to know that i still am forlorn

[chorus]
may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
oh some day by and by

[verse 2]
oh you and i were torn asunder
but parted ‘neath a glowing moon
sometimes i pray the riptide’ll pull my under
and down to a watery doom

i would have followed you out to the end
if’n you would only beckon
i would have served as your lieutenant
i would have left with you this second

[chorus]
may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
oh some day by and by

[verse 3]
oh the weather is holding you tonight
be it a sailor or the oceanic waves
keeps you warm and keeps you dry
lend your heart its place for me as you sail

whether to the port of amsterdam
or the south, pulled down to louisian’
may the wind stay at your back
and your vessel touch virgin land

[chorus]
oh may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
may the tide bring you back to me
oh some day by and by

[verse 4]
i saw you walking on down the cobblestone
you did not come calling out for me
your ship moored on the sails and soon
i’m sure your mind it was out to sea

i saw you cross the square like a comet
then row a boat oh off a foggy morn
i awoke in the belly of a whale
then the brackish marsh stillborn

[chorus]
may the tide push you out to sea
may the tide push you out to sea
may the tide push you out to sea
oh some day by and by
