lyrics

O Paloma, my darling, dear Paloma
I’ve got the world to show ye
So Paloma you'd make me believe
That the sun sets in the east

So the captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
He said of all the worldly seas of blue
I’ve never found a woman quite like you
With your waves of flowing hair and your sense of justice fair
My love anywhere you wish to go I’ll take you there

Stay on my shore, stay on my shore
Dear captain, you can stay forevermore
For this land, it is my home
It’s the only one I’ve ever known
I was born here, now I’m fully grown
But I don’t think I’d like to face this world alone

O my lady, O my love
O my woman like a dove
I’ve sailed from sea to shore
And now I do implore
We can’t stay for longer more
For I’ve seen rivers growing wide
From falling ice and rising tide
Choose whatever but with you I will reside

Dear captain, how can you see
That this land is steeped in storied memory?
But if it must be I will rise
I’ll rise side along the sea
