Nightvisiting Lyrics by Jim Moray

Jim Moray

2006

[Verse 1]
I'll put my ship in order
And I will sail up to the sea
And I'll listen at the window to see if my love minds on me
[Verse 2]
And when I come into the harbour
The burning Thames I have to cross
And I'll whisper at her window
My true love, are you alone?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm here and I'm outside your window
The rain is soaking to the skin
Prison walls I'm scaling
Chains that bite me down
The clay will not contain me or keep me from your arms
[Verse 3]
But where is the color I used to know
Your cheecks they look oh, so pale
Mary, the ground has changed me
I'm just the ghost of your Willie-O
[Chorus]
I'm here and I'm outside your window
The rain is soaking to the skin
Prison walls I'm scaling
Chains that bite me down
The clay canot contain me and keep me from your arms
[Verse 4]
So hold out your hands to the joy, to the kiss, from me now
For I must return to the dock [?], to the dead, before light
[Outro]
And so I sing onto the morning
Oh sun don't rise before it's day
And birds, hold your tunes a bit longer
For dawn comes to steal my sweet boy away
