Red Sails in the Sunset
'Twas down where fisher folk gather,I wander'd far from the throngI heard a fisher girl singingAnd this refrain was her song:[Chorus]Red sails in the sunset'Way out on the seaOh! carry my loved oneHome safely to me.He sailed at the dawningAll day I've been blueRed sails in the sunsetI'm trusting in youSwift wings you must borrowMake straight for the shoreWe marry tomorrowAnd he goes sailing no more.Red sails in the sunset'Way out on the seaOh! carry my loved oneHome safely to me.Red sails, the night wind is blowingAnd clouds are hiding the moonAbove no bright stars are glowingIt means the storm's coming soon.
