Alaina's Song
|
Rutger van Groningen |
| Chorus: | |
|
Blue, blue eyes, deep as the sea Gaze upon me tenderly That I may drown into those depths And never rescued be And never rescued be |
|
| Verses: | |
|
On shipboard did I first behold That girl who has my heart in hold But speak unto her I could not I never was so bold I never was so bold. A wealthy merchant's daughter, she Surely would not notice me A simple swordsman, I In black and silver livery All in black livery We through storm and battle passed I fought before her, at the mast And my worth I did so prove She did look my way at last She looked my way at last When in those blue eyes there befell An echo of the love I held I vowed I'd faithful to her be Through heaven and through hell - Through heaven and through hell When my life on earth is through, Bury me in the ocean blue That I may dwell, as in her eyes And remain forever true - And remain forever true. |
