Marianne Faithfull - Flandyke Shore lyrics

rate me

I went unto my own love's chamber window,

Where I had often been before,

Just to let her know love unto flandyke shore,

Unto Flandyke shore,

Never to return to England no more,

Never to return to England no more.

I went unto my love's chamber door,

Where I never been before.

There i saw a light springing from her clothes,

Springing from her clothes,

Just as the morning sun when first arose,

Just as the morning sun when first arose.

As I was walking on the Flandyke shore

Her own dear father I did need

"My daughter she is dead," he cried.

"She is dead," he cried.

"And she's broken her heart all for the love of thee."

So I hove a bullet onto fair England's shore,

Onto fair England's shore,

Just where I thought my own true love did lay.<br />
