Subject: RE: A Silver Wedding Song please?
Not specifically for a silver wedding but we like to sing this one as a duo when we are feeling cosy.
Bryan Bedford's "I'll sail no more" otherwise known as "Moored to this ring"
Moored to this ring I will not drift Anchored here I'll stay Within the shelter of your arms Watch the ebb-tide drift away The tide may wait for no man But this man sails no more I've found what I was seeking on this shore.
I'll sail no more, though breezes blow I'll stay becalmed within these waters, I won't go away I'll sail no more, my search is through For the wonder that I found I found was you.
Moored to this ring I will not drift Here I'll make my bed Within the shelter of your arms Bound by the words we've said The light that shines within your eyes To guide me safely here The harbour light of blinding white, I will be near.
Moored to this ring I will not drift I'll step onto this quay I'll hold the hand that rules this land Your landsman I will be And though the skies may darken When storm clouds hide your face Know that I am with you, I've found my place.
