Transposer:

For the chorus you can either play D or Dadd9 I believe Dadd9 is more correct but D is to play. Whichever your preference is. Capo 1 Intro: My lover’s arms Well they beg me to stay I know the stars They will sweep me away My daughter’s eyes They are two tiny seas Whose water will rise And they will run down her cheeks Father where do you go? So far out upon the sea when are you coming home to me? Darling why do you leave? The north wind begins to blow Will you be coming home to me? The boat and the blade They are all that I know The sea calls my name And so I must go While they still sleep I slip out the door How can I leave when my anchor’s ashore Father where do you go? It’s farther than I can see when are you coming home to me? Darling why do you leave? The north wind begins to blow Will you be coming home to me? Outro: Please rate!

La chanson évoque le dilemme d’un homme déchiré entre son amour pour sa famille et son appel à l'aventure en mer. Il ressent la douleur de laisser derrière lui ses proches, notamment sa compagne et sa fille, tout en étant irrésistiblement attiré par l’océan. Le protagoniste se demande quand il pourra revenir à ceux qu'il aime, tandis que le vent du nord symbolise à la fois le changement et l’urgence de son départ. Cette lutte entre le devoir et le désir crée une atmosphère émotive qui touche à des thèmes universels de séparation et de quête.
