Awake my love for I must be sailing
Awake sweet love the tide is high
Awake my love for the moon is waning
Bidding us one last goodbye.

Come my love the tide is flowing
Stay in harbour warm this place
Stay my love the dawn is breaking
Hold me in your warm embrace

No my love the tide is turning
Alas my love I must leave this shore
It is time to haul my anchor
I fear to stay one minute more.

Then go my love the waves are calling
Go my love, go sail life's sea
This harbours fire will always be burning
For to guide you home to me.

When my sailing days are over
I'll come again, to your shore
And quench the fire which you've kept burning
As I lay in harbour with you once more.
