Charm

I've been made to sail away
Towards the southern skies
With the dawnlight I must go
And leave you far behind
I've seen better days
And better nights than this
So hold me close
Forget the sailing ship

Take my love, my love
And wear it as a charm
Take my love, my love
And keep it to keep you warm
There's no badness in these tides
There's no meanness in the stars
So take my love, my love
To wear whilst we're apart

I will think of you as the sun moves east to west
Beneath the southern cross I'll dream of your tenderness
I've seen better days
And better nights than this
So hold me close
And sway till we're adrift

Take my love, my love
And wear it as a charm
Take my love, my love
And keep it to keep you warm
There's no badness in these tides
There's no meanness in the stars
So take my love, my love
To wear whilst we're apart

And if we slip to distant lands
To where our breath sits on the air
I've heard tales that in the skies
There are spirits who move, and guide and care
And our love can touch

I've been made to sail away
Towards the southern skies
With this dawnlight I must go
And leave you far behind
Now I've seen better days
And better nights than this
So hold me close
Take my one last gift

Take my love, my love
And wear it as a charm
Take my love, my love
And keep it to keep you warm
There's no badness in these tides
There's no meanness in the stars
So take my love, my love
To wear whilst we're apart
Take my love, my love
Take my love, my love
Take my love, my love
Take my love, my love
There's no badness in these tides
There's no meanness in the stars
So take my love, my love
To wear whilst we're apart
