Flowers of May

歌詞

"Wake, oh wake my dearest Jeanie And accept these flowers of May The sun breaks with my love for you And I beg you come away" "Oh my father will not have you And my mother she says no They say you must earn wealth and rank Before they let me go" "Then my ship shall sail the ocean On a tide of velvet blue And I shall rides the waves love As the stars watch over you" Well he's boarded on the Trenby And not far gone from the strand When the cruel south wind so wickedly Pushed that ship back to land On the rocks by Bishop Corner In the night she's caught and done And there's neither sight nor sound left With the breaking of the sun "Oh your ship lies in the ocean In a grave of velvet blue And I shall curse the stars love As the waves wash over you" Seven hours she's lost in weeping Till to the cliff's edge she has gone But as she closed her eyes There came a whisper soft and strong "I would swim a thousand oceans To bring you the flowers of May And I've fought the freezing waters grasp To beg you come away" In a cottage by the ocean There's a song of velvet blue May you love, may you be loved And may the stars watch over you
