The Barleyshakes - The Sailor and the Maid Lyrics

She made her way down to the shore
He don't love her anymore
And it was more than she could take
She could hear her precious heart break

She sat rocking on the sands
Breaking tiny shells in her hands
Until the night began to call
O the cold black water calls

You got to give and take
Make the sweetest sound
Love is a sacred state
I won't let you down
Friend no I won't let you down

He gave her breath the kiss of life
She came back kicking screaming why
Oh how he held her gently kissed her
No anchor down all night they drifted

And when the dawn had had it's say
The sailor and the broken hearted maid
They were awoken by a dove
And the promise of true love

You got to give and take
Make the sweetest sound
Love is a sacred state
I won't let you down
Friend no I won't let you down
