The Longest Johns - Crossing The Bar Lyrics

The Longest Johns Lyrics

"Crossing The Bar"

Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea

When I put out to sea
When I put out to sea
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea

But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam
That which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home

Turns again home
Turns again home
That which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home

Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark

When I embark
When I embark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar

When I have crost the bar
When I have crost the bar
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar

When I have crost the bar
When I have crost the bar
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar
