Away You Go or Lover’s Lament

Away you go!
Away you go
While I stay home
At home I stay

To toil away
To toil away
Days without end
Endless days

The sea your bride
The sea your bride
Beckons you away
Away from my side

Lonely nights missing you
Lonely nights missing you
Weeks to long months
Long months of solitude

Sadness breeds anger
Sadness breeds anger
Leads to needing more
Needing leads to danger

Off to play
Off to play
The sea calls you back
Home is cast away

Away you go!
Away you go
While I stay home
At home I stay
