they all go 'way - lo & the high road lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
faded flags waved in icy wind
when his hand left my own
a cold parade marching to the docks
but i left my boy at home

[pre*chorus]
please have pity on the sailors
i asked the waves, “have pity on the sailors”

[chorus]
sing, old women, sing your songs
let your voices sail on water
may they find a favorable wind
oh, sing, old women, sing
[verse 2]
leather hands sewing cotton sails
oil heating on the stove
he went away, as they all go ‘way
as soon as they are grown

[pre*chorus]
and outside, the ocean is awake
the moon is rising and the ocean is awakе

[chorus]
sing, old women, sing your songs
let your voices sail on watеr
may they find a favorable wind
oh, sing, old women, sing

[verse 3]
my son kneels down by his bed at night
outside the ocean cries
he’ll go away, as they all go ‘way
there is ocean in his eyes

[pre*chorus]
“please have pity on the sailors”
kneeling down, he asked for pity on the sailors
[bridge]
i have buried no remains
the graveyard is empty
the ocean has plenty
what do i have left to show?
but an empty bed and a working stove

[chorus]
sing, old women, sing your songs
let your voices sail on water
may they find a favorable wind
oh, sing, old women, sing

[outro]
sing, old women, sing
sing, old women, sing

- lo the high road lyrics
