My lover's arms Ooh they beg me to stay But I know the storms They will sweep me away My daughter's eyes They are two tiny seas Whose water will rise And then run down her cheeks "Father, where do you go So far out upon the sea? When are you coming home to me?" "Darling, why do you leave As the north wind begins to blow? Will you be coming home to me?" The boat and the blade They are all that I know The sea calls my name And so I must go And while they still sleep I slip out through the door But how can I leave With my anchors ashore? "Father where do you go? It's farther than I can see Where are you coming home to me?" "Darling why do you leave As the north wind begins to blow? Will you be coming home to me?" Ahh...
