It was down where fisher folk gathered   I wandered far from the town   I heard a fisher girl singin'   And this refrain was her song      Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea   Oh carry my loved one home safely to me      He 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 marry tomorrow and he 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 marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more      Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea   Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
