The Last Farewell

Don't freak out!

I am not giving a suicide note.

Ahahaha

This is my new favourite song. Credit to Mr Lim!!

He sang this song the other day and I immediately fell in love with it.

It's a very nice song.

I almost cried the first time I listened to it.

Unbelievable? Believe it. ^^

Lyrics:

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour

Tomorrow for old England she sails

Far away from your land of endless sunshine

To my land full of rainy skies and gales

And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow

Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

Refrain:

For you are beautiful

And I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

(repeat)

I heard there's a wicked war a blazing

And the taste of war I know so very well

Even now I see the foreign flag a raising

Their guns on fire as we sail into hell

I have no fear of death; it brings no sorrow

But how bitter will be this last farewell

Refrain:

For you are beautiful

And I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

(repeat)

Though death and darkness gather all about me

And my ship be torn apart upon the seas

I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands

In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee

And should I return safe home again to England

I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell

Refrain:

For you are beautiful

And I have loved you dearly

More dearly than the spoken word can tell

(repeat)
