Ballad Of The Sea, The
| Marc Gunn, Andrew McKee |

| I walked alone in foggy dew Just me and my memories A voice out seaward beckons thru A whistle of love for me, for me A whistle of love for me. T'was two moons 'go her father stole My love away from me Arranged to wed a soldier red My love's gone 'cross the sea, the sea My love's gone 'cross the sea. For ten days long our love grew strong She swore her "love to thee" Each night up high on mountainside She'd whistle her love for me, for me She'd whistle her love for me. Late one night, my fire alight Awaiting for her to see My wait was long, o' what could be wrong Where could my true love be, love be Where could my true love be A light 'cross waters latern glow Was all mine eyes could see And from below noise drifted slow Like a 'gull come back from sea, from sea Like a 'gull come back from sea. Her song it haunts me still this day Notes of uncertainty If heaven laughs at prayers of mine Then it never was to be, to be Then it never was to be.
