my sailor's thund&# at his gun;
bullets, spare my only joy!
bullets, spare my darling boy!
fate, do with me what you may,
spare but him that's far away,
on the seas and far away,
on stormy seas and far away;
fate, do with me what you may,
spare but him that's far away.
at the starless, midnight hour
when winter rules with boundless power,
as the storms the forests tear,
and thunders rend the howling air,
listening to the doubling roar,
surging on the rocky shore,
all i —i weep and pray
for his weal that's far away,
On The Seas And Far Away(2/3)
