Steeleye Span – New York Girls
Versuri New York Girls – Steeleye Span lyrics As I walked down through Chatham Street A fair maid I did meet, She asked me to see her home– She lived in Bleecker Street....
Lyrics Sails of Silver – Steeleye Span
What is it makes her to weep and to moan?
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea,
Where only long breezes reach out to me.
Chorus: And I’ll set my sails of silver,
And I’ll steer towards the sun,
And you, false love, will weep for me
When I’m gone, when I’m gone, when I’m gone.
The maid in a garden, how can it be?
I’m staring seaward but what does she see?
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk,
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk.
Chorus: (2x)
[Key change] Chorus 3x and fade
