HarbortownBrings me back to HarbortownWhere me and my true love once lay We watched the lights go up and the sun go down Let the moon rise where it may There I stood, the river flowed There she stood my black-haired Jill The wind addressed her tresses black The long love letters to the hill Lie de lie, lie de lee Where the shoreline meets the sea Lie de lie, lie de lee How the closing meets the day I'm a poor boy, the night is cold The meager treasure though it be And I would turn my restless youth to gold That I might spend it all on thee Which brings me back to Harbortown Where me and my true love once lay We watched the lights go up and the sun go down Let the moon rise where it may Lie de lie, lie de lee Where the shoreline meets the sea Lie de lie, lie de lee How the closing meets the day |
