Astryth - Sailor Boy lyrics

I once knew a boy who's life was at sea He promised me love but was lost after leave. A boy of the sun with hair gold as corn Eyes blue with the skies and heart oh so warm By bonnie tide and calming seas I long for my sailor boy And he's lost to me He's gone to a war for a land not his own, Given his orders while I'm left alone. Does he think of me while firing the guns In the midsts of war with the beat of the drums By bonnie tide and calming seas I long for my sailor boy And he's lost to me When he has gone to some foreign land Will he find there a maid no give her his hand. While I am here in old England He's off to find some new promised land. By bonnie tide and calming seas I long for my sailor boy And he's lost for me Did he know what was done when the cannons fired? Did he find true peace? I know he was so tired So to all the girls who fall for a boy Who knows naught but sea, pray for your joy. By bonnie tide and calming seas I long for my sailor boy And he's lost to me. As the bow shall rise and night shall fall I dream of my sailor boy. Lost to all I once knew a boy who's life was at sea He promised me love but was lost to the deep
