The Bergen Lyrics

Sleep while you wake me with these dreams you bring
Dreams came to me where I lay
And deep the melody the wild waves sing
My love is far, far away

Chorus (after each verse):
Oh and pity the hearts the wild waves part
My love sails the bonny boat, the Bergen

They heap their nets upon the decks by moonlight
Dreams came to me where I lay
And creep out gently to the dead of night
My love is far, far away

They reap the harvest of a cold night sea
Dreams came to me where I lay It leaps with herring 'neath its decks for me
My love is far, far away

Steep waves rise above its cold bare head
Dreams came to me where I lay
And keeping safe as I lie in my bed
My love is far, far away

It weeps with rain tonight where my love lies
Dreams came to me where I lay
And sweep the foreign sands from out his eyes
My love is far, far away

Pity the hearts the wild waves part
My love sails the bonny boat, the Bergen
