The Sailor's Song
Irish Stew of Sindidun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the end of the day
The dark is around me
But I see yellow light
That cuts the way through dark night
That light is the way of life
Where the ship must be going
To keep me away from you
And my dreams of that crew

Chorus:
When I sail down the river, when I sail across the sea
I know you'll be sailing with me
When I sail on the river, when I sail across the sea
I know you'll be living in me

So I found my fellow-soul
On the dead open sea
And she saved my drowning heart
From your haunting untrue love
For my soul there's no fate
There's no reason for hiding




And now listen what I'm sayin' to you
"Forget my dreams 'bout that crew".
