Sails Of Silver - Steeleye Span

Fair maiden in the garden walking along

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

(Key change) Chorus 3x and fade
