Red sails in the sunset,
Far over the sea.
Oh, carry my loved one,
Home safely to me.

He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue.
Red sails in the sunset,
I'm trusting in you.

Swift wings you must borrow,
Make straight for the shore.
We marry tomorrow,
And you'll go sailing no more.
Red sails in the sunset far over the sea.
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me.

Swift wings we may borrow,
Make straight for the shore.
We marry tomorrow,
And you'll go sailing no more.
Red sails in the sunset,
Far over the sea.
Oh, carry my loved one,
Home safely to me.

Oh, carry my loved one,
Home safely to me.
