The Lumineers

Oh, I m sailin away, my own true love
I m sailin away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place where I ll be landing?
No, there s nothin you can send me, my own true love
In nothin I m wishin to be ownin
Just a-carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean

Ah, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
But if I had the stars of the darkest night
Or the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I d forsaken them all for your sweet kiss
For that s all I m wishin to be owin
That I might be gone a long old time
And it s only this I m askin
Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
To make your time more easy passin ?
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I will want again tomorrow

Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin
Saying ?I don t know when I ll be comin back again
It depends on how I m feelin ?
If you, my love, must think that way
And I m sure your mind is a-roamin
And I m sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you re goin
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there s something you can send back to me
