Going Across the Sea
Love's Journey Across the Sea
Lyrics
Going across the sea, going forever more
Expressing a journey across the sea, possibly signifying a departure with a sense of permanence.
Left my little darling standing at the door
Leaving a loved one behind, creating a poignant image of separation at the doorstep.
Won't you come and go, go along with me
Invitation for someone to join the speaker on the journey, emphasizing togetherness.
Follow me my pretty little love going across the sea
Encouraging the speaker's beloved to follow them across the sea, suggesting a shared adventure.
Wind is howling low, wind is howling high
Describing the intensity of the wind, possibly symbolizing challenges or obstacles in the journey.
Come with me my pretty little dove until the day I die
Asking the loved one to accompany the speaker until death, highlighting commitment and loyalty.
Won't you come and go, go along with me
Reiterating the invitation for companionship on the journey.
Follow me my pretty little love going across the sea
Encouraging the beloved to follow the speaker, reinforcing the idea of a joint venture.
Would you give a nickel, would you give a dime
Poetically asking for a symbolic contribution, expressing a desire for the loved one's commitment.
Won't you give one dollar bill to call your name mine
Suggesting a monetary pledge as a token of commitment and possession.
Won't you come and go, go along with me
Continuing the invitation for the loved one to join the speaker on the journey.
Follow me my pretty little love going across the sea
Repeating the call for the beloved to follow, emphasizing unity and shared experience.
Eyes as bright as diamonds, lips as red as plums
Complimenting the physical attributes of the loved one, portraying them in a positive light.
Threw her arms around my neck, thought my time had come
Depicting an intimate moment of embrace, suggesting a deep connection.
Won't you come and go, go along with me
Reiterating the request for companionship on the ongoing journey.
Follow me my pretty little love going across the sea
Emphasizing once again the invitation for the beloved to join the speaker on their journey.
Won't you come and go, go along with me
Repeating the call for the loved one to come along, reinforcing the desire for shared experiences.
Fly around my pretty little miss, going across the sea
Using flight imagery to express the beloved's journey, possibly indicating a sense of freedom or transcendence.
