Kate Rusby - Farewell

[@guilermo57]

Her voice and songwriting mesmerised me since I first heard her on BBC's Folk Show and bought her very first album. I was hooked from then on. I just wish I had seen her perform live.😟

This is amazing, first time I've heard it. Oh, what I have been missing...

[@SoulxSpectre]

Isn't her voice amazing? I remember loving her since I first heard her when I was only very little.

I think these lyrics are closer to the song as sung here: One dark and stormy winters night The snow lay on the ground The sailor boy stood on the wharf And the ship was eastward bound His sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a bitter tear And as he pressed her to his breast He whispered in her ear It was in a gale the ship set sail His love was standing by She watched the vessel out of sight And the tears bedimmed her eye She prayed to Him in heaven above To guide him on his way And all the parting words that night Still echoed round the bay Farewell, Farewell, my own true love May this grief in me still sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be of you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy So farewell, farewell, my own true love On earth we meet no more but we shall meet in heaven above on that eternal shore I hope to meet you in the land From far beyond the sky Where you'll no more be parted from Thy faithful sailor boy Farewell, Farewell, my own true love This grief it makes me sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be of you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, Thy faithful sailor boy Thy faithful sailor boy

One dark and stormy winters night The snow lay on the ground The sailor boy strode on the wharf And the ship was eastward bound His sweetheart standing by his side Shed many a bitter tear And as he pressed her to his breast He whispered in her ear Was any fail the ship set sail His love was standing by She watched the vessel out of sight And the tears bedimmed her eye She prayed to him and heaven above To guide him on his way And all the parting words that night Still echoed loud round the bay Farewell Farewell my own true love May this grief for me till sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be with you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy So farewell farewell my own true love On earth we live no longer patiently tell heaven above I'll be back to tell you sure I hope to meet you in the land From far beyond the sky Where you know what the parts are from Thy faithful sailor boy This grief it makes me sore And you will be my guiding light Till I return once more My thoughts will be with you my love When the storm is raging high So farewell, farewell, remember me My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boy My faithful sailor boy
