Roger Whittaker - The Last Farewell

[00:16.82] There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour [00:21.82] Tomorrow for old England she sails [00:28.13] Far away from your land of endless sunshine [00:33.78] To my land full of rainy skies and gales [00:39.43] And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow [00:44.50] Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell [00:51.83] For you are beautiful [00:56.54] And I have loved you dearly [00:59.48] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [01:06.37] For you are beautiful [01:10.85] And I have loved you dearly [01:13.99] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [01:23.03] I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing [01:31.07] And the taste of war I know so very well [01:36.46] Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising [01:42.15] Their guns on fire as we sail into hell [01:47.93] I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow [01:52.96] But how bitter will be this last farewell [01:59.85] For you are beautiful [02:04.71] And I have loved you dearly [02:07.57] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [02:14.57] For you are beautiful [02:19.02] And I have loved you dearly [02:21.98] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [02:30.56] Though death and darkness gather all about me [02:38.71] And my ship be torn apart upon the sea [02:45.03] I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands [02:50.72] In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee [02:56.58] And should I return safe home again to England [03:02.09] I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale [03:08.89] For you are beautiful [03:13.70] And I have loved you dearly [03:16.62] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [03:23.44] For you are beautiful [03:28.29] And I have loved you dearly [03:31.06] More dearly than the spoken word can tell [03:53.84]
