ROW ON

(trad. whaling song / tune by Tim Laycock)

Clouds are upon the summer sky
There's thunder in the wind
Pull on, pull on and homeward hie
Nor give one look behind

	Row on, row on, another day
	May shine with brighter light
	Ply, ply the oars and pull away
	There's dawn beyond the night

Bear where thou goest the words of love
Say all that words can say
Changeless affection, strength to prove
But speed upon the way

	Row on, ...
	
Like yonder river would I glide
To where my heart would be
My barque should soon outsail the tide
That hurries to the sea

	Row on, ...
	
But yet a star shines constant still
Through yonder cloudy sky
And hope as bright my bosom fills
From faith that cannot die

	Row on, ...
	
Row on, row on, God speed the way
Thou canst not linger here
Storms hang about the closing day
Tomorrow may be clear

	Row on, ...
	
Clouds are upon the summer sky
There's thunder in the wind
Pull on, pull on and homeward hie
Nor give one look behind

	Row on, ...
