lyrics

The Lover's Ghost

Well met, well met, my own true love
long time I have been absent from thee
I am lately come from the deep salt sea
and it's all, yes it's all, for the sake my love of thee

I have three ships sailing on the sea
and one of them has brought me safe to land
I've four and twenty, mariners on board
and you, you alone, will have music at your command

the ship wherein my true love shall sail
is glorious, glorious to behold
the sails they shall be of clearest shining silk
and the mast it will be of finest beaten gold

I might have had a king's own daughter dear
and fain she would, she might have married me
but I forsook the finest crown of gold
and it's all, yes it's all, for the sake, my love, of thee

the songwriting duo Steve Blaquire & Dylan Jones.
Work emanates from a wooden shed in mid-Wales, serenaded by owls & robin-song.
