I had a silver penny[00:00:32]
And an apricot tree[00:00:34]
And I said to the sailor[00:00:35]
On the white quay[00:00:37]
Sailor O sailor[00:00:39]
Will you bring me[00:00:42]
If I give you my penny[00:00:44]
And my apricot tree[00:00:45]
A fez from Algeria[00:00:47]
An Arab drum to beat[00:00:51]
A little gilt sword[00:00:52]
And a[00:00:54]
Parakeet [00:00:55]
And he smiled and[00:00:55]
He kissed me[00:00:59]
As strong as death[00:01:00]
And I saw his red tongue[00:01:01]
And I felt his sweet breath[00:01:06]
You may keep your penny[00:01:08]
And your apricot tree[00:01:12]
And I'll bring your presents[00:01:13]
Back from sea [00:01:18]
Back from sea[00:01:20]
The ship dipped down[00:01:24]
On the rim of the sky[00:01:31]
And I waited while three[00:01:33]
Long summers went by[00:01:37]
Three Long summers went by[00:01:39]
Then one steel morning[00:01:42]
On the white quay[00:01:49]
I saw a grey ship[00:01:51]
Come in from sea[00:01:52]
Slowly she came[00:01:54]
Across the bay[00:01:58]
For her flashing rigging[00:01:59]
Was shot away[00:02:00]
All round her wake[00:02:01]
The seabirds[00:02:06]
Cried[00:02:07]
And flew in and out[00:02:09]
Of the hole in her side[00:02:13]
Slowly she came[00:02:15]
In the path of the sun[00:02:19]
And I heard the sound[00:02:20]
Of a distant gun[00:02:26]
Of a distant gun[00:02:27]
And a stranger came[00:02:29]
Running Up to me[00:02:55]
From the deck of the ship[00:02:56]
And he said said he[00:02:58]
Are you the boy[00:03:00]
Who would wait on the quay[00:03:03]
With the silver penny[00:03:06]
And the apricot tree [00:03:08]
I've a plum-coloured fez[00:03:11]
And a drum for thee[00:03:16]
And a sword[00:03:19]
And a parakeet[00:03:22]
From over the sea [00:03:23]
Where is the sailor[00:03:27]
With bold red hair [00:03:39]
And what is that volley On the bright air [00:03:41]
And where are the other Girls and boys [00:03:44]
Why have you brought me Children's toys[00:03:54]
Brought me Children's toys[00:04:03]
