Silver Boat

-Temple; Dreamer; Stimson

((slowly 3/4 time))

Fog blows on the water.
I'm chilled to the bone.
New grass is green on new soil.
I'm all alone.

Goodbye, my little one.
Sweetest woman of all.
The days we spent together
I will recall.

: Away on a silver boat across the open sea.
Never to return.
Never to return to me.

INST--water, organ/foghorn; "haunting"

The time we spent together
I will recall.

Oh, you looked so natural
When I saw you last.
Now, joy is but a memory
Of times long past.

: Away on a silver boat across the open sea.
Never to return.
Never to return to me.

((inst verse: organ & water, contains spoken passage))
"I come to the shore...not to say goodbye...but to bid my friend adieu."

Now joy is but a memory
Of time's long past.

Smooth sailing, my little one.
Sail on, silver boat....
