about

(Johnny Moynihan, copyright info)

We were enchanted by the voice of Anne Briggs singing this song from a 1980s recording, The Time Has Come.

lyrics

Through the mist my ship has sailed, leaving me behind
With all the things left unsaid, that were in my mind
When I stood on its deck, strangely things I saw
Strangely they have vanished now, standing on the shore

Memories of the seas I sailed, lands I gazed upon
When I stood to draw the chart, all of them were gone
When I stood on its deck, strangely things I saw
Strangely they have vanished now, standing on the shore

Sandy hills lying round, nothing standing clear
Softly light is falling through, time was never here
Headlands fading out of sight, horizons dissapear
Hazy shores and silent seas, nothing do I hear

Air and water, grass and sand, merging into one
In the silence of all of this, I am still alone
The logbook closed, the ship has sailed, as it has done before
Where she sails no tongue can tell, no one was on board

Wonderful music. Great playing by all. There is so much great traditional music around today and this is amongst the best of them. Ensemble playing like this is the best. oldjembo
