Note: Anne sang it this song in a television specials but never recorded it.

The sun was setting in the west
The birds were singing on every tree
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
But still there was no rest for me.

Chorus
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?

I grieve to leave my native land
I grieve to leave my comrades all
And my parents whom I held so dear
And the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore.

The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm
The captain calls, we must obey
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms
For it's early in the morning I am far, far away.

I have three brothers and they are at rest
Their arms are folded on their breast
But a poor simple sailor just like me
Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea...


Mirror lyrics:

Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea...
But a poor simple sailor just like me
Their arms are folded on their breast
I have three brothers and they are at rest

For it's early in the morning I am far, far away.
So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms
The captain calls, we must obey
The drums they do beat and the wars to alarm

And the bonnie, bonnie lassie that I do adore.
And my parents whom I held so dear
I grieve to leave my comrades all
I grieve to leave my native land

Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed
Let your mountains dark and dreary be
Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast
Chorus

But still there was no rest for me.
All nature seemed inclined for to rest
The birds were singing on every tree
The sun was setting in the west

i won't blame you

lo que tengo yo adentro

only halfway to everywhere

todos me miran

flying

pirates cove

tell me

your unfailing love

breaking the broken

sleeping pills

that's how i know

she don't try (to make me love her)

walls of my mind

the opener

reach out, i'll be there

rahmat

lights go out

listen up

du er min sol

fixing rubble building us
