The Bergen

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
