[Lyric] Boat of Silver (Gordon Bok)

[Verse 1]
Oh, many ships tarry in the harbor
Many roads wind across the hill
And many roses grow on the arbor
Many's the girl waits for me there still

[Chorus]
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day

[Verse 2]
Oh, the fish run deep, oh, they run so deeply
I cannot find them in the seas
The lonely road winds the hill so steeply
I'll lay me down now and take my ease

[Chorus]
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
Thеre is no boatman can net the day
[Verse 4]
Oh, thе rose that blooms blows its petals over
And the thorns lie upon the bough
The girls have gone now to a different lover
They will not linger beside me now

[Chorus]
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day

[Verse 5]
Oh, I will build me a boat of silver
Steer it with a golden oar
And I will row out of this sad harbor
And never sail back to this dark shore

[Chorus]
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day

[Outro]
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
