Sing For Me
Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away, you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home The girl around her father throws her arms To make him stay "My daddy dear, it hails, it blows You cannot go today!" Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home The April mud was on his boots A-clinging through the fields And desperate it send up its shoots But at water's edge, it yields Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away, you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home The waves were pounding the dock The pillars creak and growl The shoreman loading up the stock The gulls were crying foul Letras de canciones Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away, you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home The father called up to the ship: "You need an extra hand?" "Ah yes, for just a little trip One month, be back at land," The rain had stirred the sea too well The salt poured on the deck At last the captain rang the bell The ship was left to wreck Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away, you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home It's calm, but now the fog is thick So which way should they head? The rest knew not and they must be quick So father softly said: Sing for me, my daughter, sing for me When I'm away you'll be The siren that will finally lead me home From Letras Mania
