Generate meaning
1
What is it makes her to weep and to moan?
2
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea,
3
Where only long breezes reach out to me.
4
Chorus: And I'll set my sails of silver,
5
And I'll steer towards the sun,
6
And you, false love, will weep for me
7
When I'm gone, when I'm gone, when I'm gone.
8
The maid in a garden, how can it be?
9
I'm staring seaward but what does she see?
10
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk,
11
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk.
12
Chorus: (2x)
13
[Key change] Chorus 3x and fade
