Thread Name: A Silver Wedding Song please?
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.
