1 - Let the night fall
Let the birds cry
Let the children wait
He has cut the ropes
And taken to the sea
He has taken to the sea.
Cho - He has no compass
He has no chart
No polished glass [lens] with which to see
He was not prepared
So take him in your arms
Or I fear he’ll come to harm.
2 - We search the night
And turn our face
Upon the moon, upon the sea
And you who have watched
Every fall from grace
Please do not judge us so harshly.
Cho - (Repeat)
Sing all night, sing all day . . .
Sing all night, sing all day . . .
3 - There’s a spiral shell
Glistens in the moonlight
If you listen you can hear a song
And it will fill the air
When the wind is right
Sometimes, when the wind is right.
Cho - (Repeat)
4 - (Repeat first verse)
Cho - (Repeat)
Sing all night, sing all day . . .
