Thread Name: 'The Voyage' - Is it me or is it awful
Subject: RE: 'The Voyage' - Is it me or is it awful
I think this is the one. If you sing it sing it with the sincerity that your audience expect. (Not my choice though - for such occasions I prefer Ewan McColl's First Time ever I Saw Your Face.)
I am a sailor, you're my first mate We signed on together, we coupled our fate Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail For the hearts treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope Working together we learned how to cope
Chorus: Life is an ocean and love is a boat In troubled water that keeps us afloat When we started the voyage, there was just me and you Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship We built it with care to last the whole trip Our true destination's not marked on any charts We're navigating to the shores of the heart
