Swift wings you must borrow 

Make straight for the shore 

We marry tomorrow 

And she goes sailing no more 

{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea} 

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me 

Swift wings you must borrow 

Make straight for the shore 

We marry tomorrow 

And she goes sailing no more
