Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)

Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin) - Mountain

Goodbye little robin Marie

Don't try following me

Don't cry little robin Marie

'Cause you know I'm coming home soon

My ship

Is leaving on a three year tour

The next tide

Will take us from shore

Windlass gathers in sail and spray

On a search for the mighty sperm whale

Fly your willow branches wrap your body

Around my soul

Lay down your reeds and drums

On my soft sheets

There are years behind us

Reaching to the place

Where hearts are beating

And I know you're last true love

I'll ever meet

And I know you're last true love

I'll ever meet

Star buck is sharpening his harpoon

The black man is playing his tune

An old soul is sleeping his watch away

You be drunk again before noon

Three years sailing on bended knee

We found no whales in the sea

Don't cry little robin Marie

'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon

Fly your willow branches wrap your body

Around my soul

Lay down your reeds and drums

On my soft sheet

There are years behind us

Reaching to the place

Where hearts are beating

And I know you're last true love

I'll ever meet

And I know you're last true love

I'll ever meet
