Song information
Artist: Donovan Leitch Album: A Gift From A Flower To A Garden
Lyrics
Dear wind that shakes the barley free Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill the sail I a-weary wait upon the shore
Forsake her not in times of storm Protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sail I a-weary wait upon the shore
Whither he be in africa Or deep asleep in india, fill his dreams I a-weary wait upon the shore
Dear snow white gulls upon the wave I, like you, am lamenting, for my love I a-weary cry upon the shore
And in my chariot of sleep I ride the vast and dreamy deep deep sea I awake a-weary on the shore
Seven years and seven days No man has seen my woman ways, dear god I a-weary cry upon the shore
Along the shingled beach I go The wind about me as I make my way To my weary dream upon my bed
Dear wind that shakes the barley free Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill the sail I a-weary wait upon the shore
