Stay Mine, Keens the Sailor

Farewell, my Love, my Bonny Lass
Farewell to Paradise
To you will never be untrue
But must go and can't look twice

Someday, I know I will return
Someday, I'll make my way
But 'til then will never be untrue
To my Love so far away

Some may come, and some may go
May try to make me turn
But to you will never be untrue
And for you my Love will burn

Months may pass
And years may too
Before I may return
But I know one day, we'll meet again
So patience we must learn

The storms, they shake the roughened seas
My ship, it sails away
But your face in mind, I'll keep so clear
And I'll hold those storms at bay

I'll etch the lines; I'll scratch the page
I'll mark our time apart
But to you will never be untrue
For it's you who have my Heart

And though the waves
Will rend our Time
A poet could pen many lines

Of how I'll long
To hold you close
Of everyone, I Love you most

Please write me, dear
Keep my face clear
In your mind's eye

Or I must die

The weeks and years
Our cross to bear
Please say you will stay mine

The weeks and years
Our cross to bear
Please say you will stay mine

The weeks and years
Our cross to bear
Please say you will stay mine!

So for now, my Love, my Bonny Lass
Farewell to our today
"Blood of my blood, bone of my bone"
But now, I must away

And when the hour comes,
We'll rejoice
We'll have some cause for cheer
For then I will have come back Home

To my love in Paradise
We will dwell in Paradise
With my Love
It is Paradise

It is Paradise
It is Paradise
It is Paradise
It is Paradise
