Down By the Seashore

...down by the seashore,
     where the waters foam white,
Hang your head over; hear the winds's flight.
The east wind loves sunshine,
And the west wind loves night.
The north blows alone, dear,
And I fear the light.
You've taken my heart, dear,
Beyond the winds' night.
The fires you have kindled
last longer than light.

...last longer than light, dear,
     when the waters foam white;
Hang your head over; hear the wind's flight.
The fires you have kindled
Will last out my night.
Soon I will die, dear,
On the mountains' cold height.
The steel wind blows truth, dear,
Beyond my blade's might.

...beyond my blade's might, dear,
     where the waters foam white;
Hang your head over; hear the wind's flight.
I told you the truth, dear,
Right from the start.
I wanted your love, dear,
With all of my heart.

Sometimes you hurt me,
And sometimes we fought,
But now that you've left me,
My life's been for naught.

My life's been for naught, dear,
     when the waters foam white;
So hang your head over, and hear the wind's flight.
So hang your head over, and hear the wind's flight.
