--- Barclay James Harvest
|
|
Long ships sailing on a windy day
|
Muddy waters to the sea
|
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl
|
Stood waving me goodbye
|
'Neath the dragon's prow lies
|
The Devil and the deep blue sea
|
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling...
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling sea
|
|
Elrond by the sail and Legolas the helm
|
Mighty oars raise to the sky
|
A hundred men or more
|
And mines below our feet
|
All are pledged to fight
|
For the warlords or to die
|
|
The north winds bite so cold
|
With tales of grief and woe
|
The storm clouds gather to the east
|
Uncharted course is set
|
As we head for the sun
|
To the green, rich isles
|
In the middle of the rolling sea
|
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling...
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling sea
|
|
The time and tide flow by
|
Like dreams below our feet
|
The journey lingers in deceit
|
The god's relentless cry
|
To set our spirits free
|
Still lingers in the souls close to defeat
|
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling...
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling sea
|
|
It's thirty days or more
|
Since we last sighted land
|
The sails are torn and the oars now weak
|
The green land far away
|
Proud heads bowed in their grief
|
Lord Odin take our bodies
|
To the deep blue sea
|
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling...
|
Woman it's all right
|
You were born to be free
|
Free to be borne by the wind and the tides
|
Across the rolling sea
