My Love As Gone Across The Sea – Skye Peterson & Andrew Peterson (from “The Wingfeather Saga: A Crow for the Carriage” soundtrack)

My love has gone across the sea
To find a country far and fair
He sailed into the gilded west
And lo, my heart will never rest
Until my love returns to me
Or I set out to find him there

Come home, come home
I sing to thee
My love, come home and rest thy head
I’ll watch for you the winter long
And sing for you a summer song
And if you can’t return to me
Then I will sail to you instead

Through tow’ring wave and shriek of gale
I’ll aim my vessel ever west
And steer it by the cord that bound
My heart to yours, until your found
And should you find my body pale
And wrecked upon the loamy shale
Rejoice, my love, and call me blessed
In death my love, I loved you best

Rejoice, my love, and call me blessed
In death my love, I loved you best
