[Verse 1]
DSunset and Aevening Dstar,
And Gone clear Acall for Dme!
And may there be Gno moaning Aof the Dbar,
When GI put Aout to Dsea.
[Chorus]
When DI put Gout to Dsea,
When GI put Aout to Bmsea.
And Bmmay there be Gno moaning Aof the Dbar,
When GI put Aout to Dsea.
[Verse 2]
But such a Gtide as moving Aseems asDleep,
Too Gfull for Asound and Dfoam,
That which drew Gfrom out the Abound-less Ddeep
GTurns aAgain Dhome.
[Chorus]
DTurns aGgain Dhome.
GTurns aAgain Bmhome.
That which drew Gfrom out the Abound-less Ddeep
GTurns aAgain Dhome.
[Verse 3]
DTwiGlight and Aevening Dbell,
And Gafter Athat the Ddark!
And may there be Gno sadness Aof fareDwell,
GWhen AI emDbark;
[Chorus]
DWhen GI emDbark,
GWhen AI emBmbark.
And may there be Gno sadness Aof fareDwell,
GWhen AI emDbark.
[Verse 4]
For tho' from Gout our bourne of Atime and Dplace
The Gflood may Abear me Dfar,
I hope to see Gmy pilot Aface to Dface
When GI have Acrossed the Dbar.
[Chorus]
When DI have Gcrossed the Dbar.
When GI have Acrossed the Bmbar.
I hope to see Gmy pilot Aface to Dface
When GI have Acrossed the Dbar.
When DI have Gcrossed the Dbar.
When GI have Acrossed the Bmbar.
I hope to see Gmy pilot Aface to Dface
When GI have Acrossed Dthe bar.
