Song Lyrics

Alas poor john he was a prisoner
Fortune's fool for many a day
Blinded by that cursed diamond
With his freedom he must pay

And so it was for faithful elzevir
Cast in chains for ten long years
With never a word of blame or anger
Just for john t'was only tears

Oh oh oh only tears
Oh oh oh

Blow wind blow
And send them home again
Set the sails for England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to moonfleet bay

And as for grace
She'd still be waiting
Waiting for her only love

Every night a candle burning at her window
Should he come

Oh oh oh should he come
Oh oh oh

Blow wind blow
And send them home again
Set the sails for England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to moonfleet bay

Blow wind blow
And send them home again
Set the sails for England's way
Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to moonfleet bay

Many a heart is grieving for them
Bring them back to moonfleet bay!
