Fisher Lass - UNHCR special release

Calm be the sea by morning's first light,
 As birds wings in feathered flight
 boldly stride gale an' gentle breeze
 To earn a crust from hostile seas - from hostile seas
 Birds castin' eye to the lass in the surge
 weeping a solemn dirge.
 her watery eyes doth tell no lies
 her sorrow's seen clear from the skies - clear from the skies
 Please my love come back to me,
 godspeed my love, my dear.
 I pray you will come back to me
 Your lonely fisher lass.
 Her lovers fate at tempests swirl
 Thus grieve our fisher girl
 the gulls they vow the oceans wide to scour
 bringing her news in darkest hour - in darkest hour
 By noon the stricken ship was found
 halted and run aground.
 On watered rocks that sharp as needles be honed
 Lay fisher boy by death now be owned - by death now be owned
 Please my love come back to me,
 godspeed my love, my dear.
 I pray you will come back to me
 Your lonely fisher lass.
 Her locket so proud around his neck
 Now loosened by skillful peck
 carried to the shore by solemn bill
 To fisher lass who stands there still - Who stands there still
 Come next morn, a single white cloth
 cradled in oceans froth.
 lovers by the cold dark waves now caressed,
 all left behind a fisher lass' dress - a fisher lass' dress
