sunrise

My lover the sailor On ev'nings rare We'd meet together For fish and chips fare He'd leave in the morning Our precious time short But to keep me company 'til the next time he'd port He said,

The impression: sunrise
Just wait for me then
I'll be there, don't worry
My love won't end
Though I leave at sunset
And m'soul demands I go
The impression: sunrise
Watch the horizon's glow

My lover the sailor
Tried hard in deed.
But I knew his first love
Was the sea, not me
I'd see him in the morning
But not ev'ry, as sworn
But to keep me company
'til the next time he'd port
He said,

The impression: sunrise
Just wait for me then
I'll be there, don't worry
My love won't end
Though I leave at sunset
And m'soul demands I go
The impression: sunrise
Watch the horizon's glow

And then one day after many had passed
Long beyond all hope should last
I let the flame flicker and die
The sea had claimed her Lorelei

The impression: sunrise
Just wait for me then
I'll be there, don't worry
My love won't end
Though I leave at sunset
And m'soul demands I go
The impression: sunrise
Watch the horizon's glow
