{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}
|
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
|
{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}
|
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
|
|
Swift wings you must borrow
|
Make straight for the shore
|
We marry tomorrow
|
And she goes sailing no more
|
