《Marrying the Sea》歌词

[00:00:00] Marrying the Sea - Declan O'Rourke/De Dannan/Jimmy Keane

[00:00:18] Well I stood before the ocean

[00:00:23] In the middle of the night

[00:00:28] Cause I loved her so I asked her

[00:00:31] Then if she would be my wife

[00:00:38] And then I closed my eyes and waited

[00:00:44] And I listened for an answer

[00:00:49] Until she kissed my feet and whispered

[00:00:55] 'I could not give you my hand sir

[00:01:01] Then as she walked me up and down along the shore

[00:01:09] She said You're far too young to marry me

[00:01:15] For I am old as old can be

[00:01:22] And I've been wed with many men

[00:01:28] But for all my love I've far outlived them all

[00:01:37] So I went to her the next night

[00:01:42] All a-merried up with wine

[00:01:47] And I asked her for her long blue hand

[00:01:53] For to hold hers there in mine

[00:01:59] And then once again I waited and I listened for a while

[00:02:10] Until I heard her voice come crashing in the waves

[00:02:14] That broke all round for miles and miles

[00:02:22] She said How could I place my trust in thee

[00:02:28] When I am bound and you are free

[00:02:34] See so many men have took my hand

[00:02:40] And so many of them left me for the land

[00:02:47] There were fishermen whalers seamen and sailors

[00:02:55] But for all it's just me and the moon

[00:03:02] And for each star above me ten more have loved me

[00:03:11] How could it be different with you

[00:03:20] So when it was quiet on the third night I said

[00:03:27] My life is in your hands

[00:03:32] You can keep me for the time I have

[00:03:38] Or I'll lie here on the sand

[00:03:45] And it was quiet on the third night

[00:03:51] As I took off my shoes

[00:03:56] But as I walked into her arms she said

[00:04:04] Sure what have I to lose
