Sandy Denny - The Boatman lyrics
How often haunting the highest hilltop
 I scan the ocean, a sail to see
 Will it come tonight, love, will it come tomorrow
 Or ever come, love, to comfort me
 (chorus "the boatman" in gaelic):
 O fare thee well, love, where'er thou be
 They call thee fickle, they call thee false one
 And seek to change me but all in vain
 Thou art my dream yet throughout the dark night
 Sandy Denny - The Boatman - http://motolyrics.com/sandy-denny/the-boatman-lyrics.html
 And every moment I watch the main
 There's not a hamlet, too well I know it,
 Where you go wandering or stay awhile
 But all it's old folk you win with talking
 And charm it's maidens with song and smile
 Doth thou remember the promise made me,
 A token plead, a silken gown
 That ring of gold with your hair and portrait
 That gown and ring I will never own
