The Bergen

Lyrics

Sleep, why wake me with these dreams that you bring? Dreams came to me where I lay Deep the melody the wild waves sing My love is far, far away Oh, pity the heart The wild waves part My love sails the bonnie barque the Bergen They heap their nets upon the decks by the light Dreams came to me where I lay Then creep out gentle in the dead of night My love is far, far away Oh, pity the heart The wild waves part My love sails the bonnie barque the Bergen They reap their harvest from the cold night sea Dreams came to me where I lay It reeks with herring in the hold for me My love is far, far away Oh, pity the heart The wild waves part My love sails the bonnie barque the Bergen Steep waves ride above his cold fair head Dreams came to me where I lay Keep him safe to lie here in my bed My love is far, far away Oh, pity the heart The wild waves part My love sails the bonnie barque the Bergen It weeps with rain tonight where my love lies Dreams came to me where I lay Oh wipe the foreign sand from out of his eyes My love is far, far away Oh, pity the heart The wild waves part My love sails the bonnie barque the Bergen
