"Lowlands Away" lyrics - RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John,
Lowlands away I heard them say,
My Lowlands away.

I dreamed a dream the other night,
Ch. Lowlands, Lowlands, away, my John.
My love she came dressed all in white,
Ch. My Lowlands away.

I dreamed my love came in my sleep,
Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep.

She came to me as my best bride (at mt bed-side),
All dressed in white like some fair bride.

And bravely in her bosom fair,
A red, red rose did my love wear.

She made no sound-no word she said,
And then I knew my love was dead.

I bound the weeper round my head,
For now I knew my love was dead.

She waved her hand-she said goodbye,
I wiped the tear from out my eye.

And then awoke to hear the cry,
'Oh, watch on deck, oh, watch ahoy!'
