Red Sails In The Sunset
The Beatles · Live At The Star Club In Hamburg [1962]
Red sails in the sunsetWay out of the seaOh carry my
love oneHome safely to meShe sailed at the dawningOh
way out and blueRed sails in the sunsetI'm counting
on youRed sails in the sunsetWay out of the seaOh carry
my love oneHome safely to meSweet wind we must borrowMake
straight for the shoreWe'll marry tomorrowAnd
you'll go sailing no moreRed sails in the sunsetWay
out of the seaOh carry my love oneHome safely to meSweet
wind we must borrowMake straight for the shoreWe'll
marry tomorrowAnd she'll go sailing no moreRed sails
at the sunsetWay out of the seaOh carry my love oneHome
safely to meOh carry my love oneHome safely to me
love oneHome safely to meShe sailed at the dawningOh
way out and blueRed sails in the sunsetI'm counting
on youRed sails in the sunsetWay out of the seaOh carry
my love oneHome safely to meSweet wind we must borrowMake
straight for the shoreWe'll marry tomorrowAnd
you'll go sailing no moreRed sails in the sunsetWay
out of the seaOh carry my love oneHome safely to meSweet
wind we must borrowMake straight for the shoreWe'll
marry tomorrowAnd she'll go sailing no moreRed sails
at the sunsetWay out of the seaOh carry my love oneHome
safely to meOh carry my love oneHome safely to me
