Girl, don’t tell me that it’s morning Can we keep the curtains drawn I haven’t given you fair warning But our ship, she sails at dawn
[Chorus] It’s true I must be going but I swear I won’t be long There isn’t that much ocean between Boston and St. John’s I’m a rover and I’m bound to sail away I’m a rover can you love me anyway?
And if some suitor comes approaching Will you let him through your door And what if I return half broken Will you still want me anymore?
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Close your eyes and dream Tell me what you see Tell me what you want Just tell me that you’ll wait for me
