Fare thee well, gentle maid. I'll see you on your way,
And the sun would rise tomorrow to wash our sins away.
I know it must have hurt you, but we only had a day,
And I think that's why you left me in your own sad little way.
You're gone-disappeared.
I only end up crying three thousand miles from here.

Some would say that you're a loser 'cause you play a loser's game.
Oh, but if I am the winner, why am I so ashamed?
If you hear a young dove crying, you'll know its me to blame,
'Cause I never got her number; I never knew her name'
And she's gone-disappeared,
And I only end up crying three thousand miles from here.

hope this helps slan

Gorra mile mile maith agut!
I could not get the young dove line, that is it entirely! I heard a tape of them in Devizes, where they have a lot of fans. Really nice band. Any news about them? By the way, are you named after the bowsprit? We used to call them widdowmakers, and if you ever furled a head sail in a heavy sea, you know why (and I have and do!)
