lyrics

The Bergen Jez Lowe

(G) Sleep, why do you wake me with these (Em)dreams you bring?
(C)Dreams came to me where I (Bm)lay.
(C)Deep the melody the (D)wild waves (G)sing.
(C)My love is (G)far, far a(C)way.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.

They (G)heap their nets upon the (Em)decks by the light,
(C)Dreams came to me where I (Bm)lay.
Then (C)creep out gentle at the (D)dead of (G)night.
(C)My love is (G)far, far a(C)way.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.

They (G)reap their harvest from a (Em)cold night's sea,
(C)Dreams came to me where I (Bm)lay.
It (C)leaps with the herring in the (D)hold for (G)me.
(C)My love is (G)far, far a(C)way.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.
-Instrumental verse-

(G)Steep waves ride above his (Em)cold fair head,
(C)Dreams came to me where I (Bm)lay.
(C)Keep him safe to lie (D)here in my (G)bed.
(C)My love is (G)far, far a(C)way.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.

It (G)weeps with rain tonight where (Em)my love lies,
(C)Dreams came to me where I (Bm)lay.
Oh, (C)sweep the foreign sand from (D)out of his (G)eyes.
(C)My love is (G)far, far a(C)way.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.
Oh, (G)pity the (D)hearts the (G)wild waves (Em)part,
My (C)love sails the (G)bonny barque, the (C)Bergen.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
