lyrics

Gazing out at the white horses
As they gallop to the strand
Bring her back to me, white horses
Set her down upon the sand
Guard her from the heartless sea
Treat her kindly, keep her free
I’ll be waiting patiently
White horses

I was just a jewellery maker
Bringing my wares to the Gathering of Men
And that was when
Saw her on the dock with a crew of bondmen
Cajoled and bartered, watched her for a while
And then she smiled
And I blushed
Just like a child

Gazing out at the white horses
As they gallop to the strand
Bring her back to me, white horses
Set her down upon the sand
Guard her from the heartless sea
Treat her kindly, keep her free
I’ll be waiting patiently
White horses

Then we had the whole summer
Never so much as a minute spent apart
She owned my heart
Every day we knew the time was coming
The season would end and then she’d have to cross the sea
Away from me
But she’d return
Eventually

Gazing out at the white horses
As they gallop to the strand
Bring her back to me, white horses
Set her down upon the sand
Guard her from the heartless sea
Treat her kindly, keep her free
I’ll be waiting patiently
White horses

Gathered up the finest amber
And set it in a gold and silver pin
With my love bound in
I took it to the Western shoreline
And sang to the waves until the sun went down
And her ship came aground
We were lost
And now we’re found

Gazing out at the white horses
As they gallop to the strand
You brought her back to me, white horses
And set her down upon the sand
Guarded from the heartless sea
Treated kindly, and kept free
I was waiting patiently
White horses

Gazing out at the white horses
As they gallop to the strand
You brought her back to me, white horses
And set her down upon the sand
Guarded from the heartless sea
Treated kindly, and kept free
I was waiting patiently
White horses
