moonfleet bay

alas poor john

he was a prisoner

fortune's fool for many a day

blinded by that cursed diamond

with his freedom

he must pay;

and so it was for faithful elzevir

cast in chains for ten long years

with never a word of blame or anger

just for john

t'was only tears;

oh oh oh

only tears

oh oh oh. blow

wind blow

and send them home again

set the sails for england's way

many a heart is grieving for them

bring them back to moonfleet bay;

and as for grace

she'd still be waiting

waiting for her only love

every night a candle burning at her window

should he come;

oh oh oh

should he come

oh oh oh. blow

wind blow

and send them home again

set the sails for england's way

many a heart is grieving for them

bring them back to moonfleet bay;

blow

wind blow

and send them home again

set the sails for england's way

many a heart is grieving for them

bring them back to moonfleet bay;

many a heart is grieving for them

bring them back to moonfleet bay!
