red sails in the sunset

Singer:burl ives

red sails in the sunset

way out on the sea

oh

carry my loved one home safely to me

she sailed at the dawning

all day i've been blue

red sails in the sunset

i'm trusting in you

swift wings you must borrow

make straight for the shore

we will marry tomorrow

and she goes sailing no more

red sails in the sunset

way out on the sea

oh

carry my loved one home safely to me

swift wings you must borrow

make straight for the shore

we will marry tomorrow

and she goes sailing no more

red sails in the sunset

way out on the sea

oh

carry my loved one home safely to me

oh

carry my loved one home safely to me
