Lucy Spraggan - Rockcliffe Bay Lyrics
He said part of me has been lost at sea, never to return againWith her eyes wide open, she was softly spokenShe said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"You look so fine, sailor, your shoes still shineAfter years of a house that don't swayBut she could see in his eyes that ship's flag still fliesAnd his home was an ocean awayHe sang, freedom was mine, for 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 sameI 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 wasHe sang, freedom was mine, for 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 sameI 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 mine, for 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
