Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning, all day i've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, i'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We will marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We will marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
