Lyrics

[00:13.85] Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
[00:20.30] Don't try following me
[00:26.79] Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
[00:33.12] 'Cause you know I'm coming home soon
[00:40.49] My ships' leaving on a three-year tour
[00:46.75] The next tide will take us from shore
[00:52.93] Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
[01:00.11] On a search for the mighty sperm whale
[01:07.42] Fly your willow branches
[01:10.10] Wrap your body round my soul
[01:15.47] Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
[01:21.55] There are years behind us reaching
[01:24.85] To the place where hearts are beating
[01:29.32] And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
[01:35.45] And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
[02:40.60] Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
[02:47.19] The black man is playing his tune
[02:53.76] An old salt's sleeping his watch away
[03:00.28] He'll be drunk again before noon
[03:58.65] Three years sailing on bended knee
[04:04.39] We found no whales in the sea
[04:10.82] Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
[04:17.05] 'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon
[04:24.37] Fly your willow branches
[04:27.51] Wrap your body round my soul
[04:31.75] Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
[04:38.35] There are years behind us reaching
[04:41.23] To the place where hearts are beating
[04:45.98] And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
[04:52.75] And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
[05:48.69]

About Mountain

🇺🇸United States·hard rock, classic rock
A mountain is an elevated portion of the surface of a planet, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain is usually considered higher than a hill, typically rising 300 metres (980 ft) above the surrounding land. It may either have a limited summit area or be a smaller plateau with high elevation and steep sides. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosio...
