Goodbye Christians on the Shore - Neil Young

There was a fair maid and she lived all alone She lived all alone on the shore No one could she find for to calm her sweet mind But to wander alone on the shore, shore, shore To wander alone on the shore There was a brave captain who sailed a fine ship And the weather being steady and fair I shall die, I shall die, this dear captain did cry If I can't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore If I can't have that maid on the shore After many persuasions they brought her on board He seated her down on his chair He invited her down to his cabin below Farewell to all sorrow and care Farewell to all sorrow and care I'll sing you a song, this fair maid did cry This captain was weeping for joy She sang it so sweetly, so soft and completely She sang the captain and sailors to sleep Captain and sailors to sleep She robbed them of jewels, she robbed them of wealth She robbed them of costly fine fare The captain's broadsword she used as an oar She rowed her way back to the shore, shore, shore She rowed her way back to the shore Oh the men, they were mad and the men, they were sad They were deeply sunk down in despair To see her go away with her booty so gay The rings and her things and her fine fare The rings and her things and her fine fare Well, don't be so sad and sunk down in despair And you should have known me before I sang you to sleep and I robbed you of wealth Well, again I'm a maid on the shore, shore, shore Again I'm a maid on the shore

Here I stand, watching the tide go out So all alone and blue Just dreaming dreams of you I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea Taking all my dreams And taking all of me The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

I'm just a man, but I know that I'm damned All the dead seem to know where I am The tale that began on the night of my birth Will be done in a turn of the earth Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Under the waves and the earth of an age Lie a thousand old northerners' graves Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright They come rising up into the night Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore I'm going away for a long time I'm going away for a long time Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore I'm going away for a long time
