Lucy Spraggan "Rockcliffe Bay" lyrics

Rockcliffe Bay

He said part of mehas been lost at seaNever to return againWith her eyes wide openShe was softly spokenShe said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"You look so fine, sailorYour shoes still shineAfter years of a house that don't swayBut she could seeIn his eyes that ship's flag still fliesAnd his home was a ocean away

He sang, freedom was mineFor one last timeWhen I was sailing along those wavesBut now my plate don't slideAnd my rum's now wineAnd I will never be the same

I don't hear birds no moreBut there's swallows on my handsI earnt a star that wasn't plucked from aboveI have memories of friendsWho left this earth as young menYet my hairs as white as my hat once, was

He sang, freedom was mineFor one last timeWhen I was sailing along those wavesBut now my plate don't slideAnd my rum's now wineAnd I will never be the same

I hear a blast in the backgroundFeel the wind whip my faceTowing a sister shipThat didn't make it homeColours, fade away from me asI awake, my wife said"I'm sleeping next to my own"

He sang, freedom was mineFor one last timeWhen I was sailing along those wavesBut now my plate don't slideAnd my rum's now wineAnd I will never be the same
