Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me

{She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue}

Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you



Swift wings you must borrow

Make straight for the shore

We marry tomorrow

And she goes sailing no more



{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea}

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me







Swift wings you must borrow

Make straight for the shore

We marry tomorrow

And she goes sailing no more



{Red sails in the sunset}

Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)

Oh, carry my loved one

{Home safely to me}
