1. Girl don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn?
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, it sails at dawn
R: And it's true I must be going, but I swear it won't be long
There isn't that much ocean between Boston and St. Johns
I'm a rover, and I'm bound to sail away
I'm a rover can you love me anyway?
2. And if some suitor comes approaching
Will you let him through your door?
What if I return half-broken?
Will you still love me any more?
R: And it's true...
*: Close your eyes and dream
And tell me what you see
You can tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me
3. Girl, don't tell me that it's morning
Can we keep the curtains drawn
I haven't given you fair warning
But our ship, she sails at dawn
R: And it's true...
