About the Artist
Lyrics
My lover's arms Well they beg me to stay I know the stars They will sweep me away My daughter's eyes They are two tiny seas Whose water will rise And they will run down her cheeks [Chorus:] Father where do you go? So far out upon the sea when are you coming home to me? Darling, why do you leave? The north wind begins to blow Will you be coming home to me? The boat and the plank They are all that I know The sea calls my name And so I must go While they still sleep I slip out the door How can I leave when my anchor's ashore [Chorus]
