Red Sails in the Sunset
Love's Voyage at Sunset: A Melodic Tale of Hope and Homecoming
Lyrics
(Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea)
Expressing the presence of red sails on the sea during sunset.
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Pleading for the safe return of a loved one carried by the red sails.
(She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue)
Describing the departure of a ship at dawn and conveying a sense of sadness throughout the day.
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Putting trust in the red sails to bring the loved one back.
Swift wings you must borrow
Advising the red sails to move swiftly and efficiently.
Make straight for the shore
Instructing the sails to head directly for the shore.
We marry tomorrow
Announcing plans for marriage on the following day.
And she goes sailing no more
Indicating that after the marriage, the loved one won't go sailing anymore.
(Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea)
Reiterating the sight of red sails on the sea during sunset.
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Repeating the plea for the safe return of the loved one.
Swift wings you must borrow
Reiterating the need for swift movement and reaching the shore promptly.
Make straight for the shore
Reemphasizing the direct path to the shore for a timely reunion.
We marry tomorrow
Confirming the marriage plans for the next day.
And she goes sailing no more
Reassuring that the loved one will cease sailing after the marriage.
(Red sails in the sunset)
Repeating the imagery of red sails in the sunset.
Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh)
Restating the presence of red sails on the sea.
Oh, carry my loved one
Echoing the plea for the safe return of the loved one.
(Home safely to me)
Reiterating the desire for the loved one to come home safely.
