CHORUS.
Daylight is on the sea,
Land is no place for me;
Come away, love, come away, love,
I dare no longer stay;
Come away, love, away, love,
I dare no longer stay.
Come away, away, away, away, away,
I dare no longer stay,
Away, away, away, away, away,
I dare no longer stay.
Daylight plays o’er the deep,
Like childhood’s smile;
Blue waves and hush’d winds sleep,
Enchain’d awhile!
My bark is on the waves,
My boat ashore,
The surge its broadside laves,
While sleeps each oar.
