(Filk of John Denver's Leaving On A Jet Plane)
All my ships are packed I’m ready to go I’m standing here outside your hall I hate to wake you up to say farewell But the tide is turning Down by the shore The thralls are waiting Waving their oars Already I’m so scurvy I could die So curse me and exile me Tell me you won’t wait me Hold me like you’ll never let me go Cuz I’m leaving on a longship Don’t know if I’ll be home again Oh Thane, I hate to go There’s so many raids I’ve let you down So many times I’ve sailed around I vow this now, I will win you rings Every town I raze I’ll raze for you Every song I sing I’ll sing for you When I come back I’ll bring you precious things So curse me and exile me Tell me you won’t wait me Hold me like you’ll never let me go Cuz I’m leaving on a longship Don’t know if I’ll be home again Oh Thane, I hate to go Now the day has come to flee you One more time, Let me beg you Then close your eyes So I can run away Dream about the loot come When I make for all the dumb Stupid things I did that made you say That you’d curse me and exile me Tell me you won’t wait me Hold me like you’ll never let me go Cuz I’m leaving on a longship Don’t know if I’ll be home again Oh Thane, I hate to go But, I’m leaving on a long ship Don’t know if I’ll be back again Oh Thane, I hate to go |
