Josefine Cronholm Sailor lyrics

The sky was grey that day when he signed on the ship
he put a letter on the bed and on the table the golden ring

He kept a photograf of his son and the little one
he kept it close to his heart, but like the tide he´s drawn away

And now the belling sails all set
alone again
to greet an open sky,
the seagulls show the way

And now the belling sails all set,
alone again
to greet the open sea

the stars will show the way

Oh brother my brother where can you be
I send this song across the sea
and when you´re feeling lonely on your way
I send this song for you as company

Oh sailor won´t you sail your boat
I need to see you again
oh sailor won´t you sail your boat
in this direction home
