Boots Of Spanish Leather Lyrics - The Lumineers

Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love 

I'm sailin' away in the morning 

Is there something I can send you from across the sea 

From the place where I'll be landing? 

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love 

Is nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin' 

Just a-carry yourself back to me unspoiled 

From across that lonesome ocean 

Ah, but I just thought you might want something fine 

Made of silver or of golden 

Either from the mountains of Madrid 

Or from the coast of Barcelona 

But if I had the stars of the darkest night 

Or the diamonds from the deepest ocean 

I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss 

For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin' 

That I might be gone a long old time 

And it's only this I'm askin' 

Is there something I can send you to remember me by? 

To make your time more easy passin'? 

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again? 

It only brings me sorrow 

The same thing I would want today 

I will want again tomorrow 

Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day 

It was from her ship a-sailin' 

Saying "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again 

It depends on how I'm feelin'" 

If you, my love, must think that way 

And i'm sure your mind is a-roamin' 

And i'm sure your heart is not with me 

But with the country to where you're goin' 

So take heed, take heed of the western winds 

Take heed of the stormy weather 

And yes, there's something you can send back to me...
