Girl, don't tell me that it's morning

Can we keep the curtains drawn

I haven't given you fair warning

But our ship, she sails at dawn



CHORUS:

It's true I must be going but I swear I won't be long

There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. John's

I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away

I'm a rover can you love me anyway?



And if some suitor comes approaching

Will you let him through your door

And what if I return half broken

Will you still want me anymore?



CHORUS



BRIDGE:

Close your eyes and dream

Tell me what you see

Tell me what you want

Just tell me that you'll wait for me



Repeat 1



CHORUS
