When I took my boat out to the White Sea
|
I had no care in the world
|
Not a cloud disturbed the sky
|
I was dreaming only of how it might be
|
Then dark fell into the day
|
And the wind began to rise
|
Peter on the White Sea
|
Green mountains of waves
|
Blew all around
|
Peter on the White Sea
|
The howl of the wind, that lonesome sound
|
Sailors made their peace then with the Almighty
|
Still I kept hope in my heart
|
Through the salt and stormy night
|
Every hour the wind struck ever harder
|
We held on tight in the dark
|
As our bow rose and fell
|
Till we came with daylight into the harbour
|
Hard by the monastery walls
|
To the ringing of a bell
|
Peter on the White Sea
|
A day to recall when days are done
|
Peter on the White Sea
|
The first of a thousand ships to come
|
When I took my boat out on the White Sea
|
I heard my name in the wind
|
In the bright and empty sky
|
When I took my boat out to the White Sea
|
