I Drew My Ship
Colin Meloy

I drew my ship
Into the harbor
I drew it up where my true love lay
I drew it close by to her window
To listen to what my love did say

Who's there that knocks there loud at my window?
Who knocks so loud and would come in?
It is your true love, who loves you dearly
Arise dear love and let him in

Then slowly slowly got she up
And slowly slowly came she down
But before she got her door unlocked
Her true love had both come and gone

He's brisk and bold, he's far away
He's far beyond yon raging main
Where fishes dancing and bright eyes glancing
Have made him quite forget his aim
