Bellowhead - I Drew My Ship Across the Harbour lyrics
[Bellowhead - I Drew My Ship Across the Harbour lyrics]
I drew my ship into the harbour
I drew her close where my true love lay
And I drew her closer to her bedroom window
To listen to what my love would say
"Who's there? Who's there?
At my bedroom window? Who knocks so loudly?"
"Oh, let me in it is your true love
Who loves you dearly
So rise, dear love, and let me in"
And I will put my ship in order
I'll set her on the sea
I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
And slowly, slowly she rose up
And slowly, slowly she came down
But when she had her door unlocked
Her true love had both come and gone
And I will put my ship in order
And I'll set her on the sea
And I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
Come back, come back, my own true love
Come back, come back, come to my side
I never grieved you no yet deceived you
And I would surely be your bride
The fish shall fly and the seas run dry
And the rocks shall melt full in the sun
And the labouring men shall
Forget their labour if ever I return again
And I will put my ship in order
And I'll set her on the sea
And I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
Put my ship in order set her on the sea
Come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
I drew her close where my true love lay
And I drew her closer to her bedroom window
To listen to what my love would say
"Who's there? Who's there?
At my bedroom window? Who knocks so loudly?"
"Oh, let me in it is your true love
Who loves you dearly
So rise, dear love, and let me in"
And I will put my ship in order
I'll set her on the sea
I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
And slowly, slowly she rose up
And slowly, slowly she came down
But when she had her door unlocked
Her true love had both come and gone
And I will put my ship in order
And I'll set her on the sea
And I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
Come back, come back, my own true love
Come back, come back, come to my side
I never grieved you no yet deceived you
And I would surely be your bride
The fish shall fly and the seas run dry
And the rocks shall melt full in the sun
And the labouring men shall
Forget their labour if ever I return again
And I will put my ship in order
And I'll set her on the sea
And I'll come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
Put my ship in order set her on the sea
Come up to the harbour
Where my true love wait's for me
