Songtext von As Ships Go By

Come under the arching trees And on the warm grass stretch at ease Where we can taste the salt sea-breeze And see the ships go by When the wind so strong and free Blows o'er my face fresh from the sea I forgetting all my care Here beneath these arching trees Where we taste the salt sea-breeze And watch the ships go by And they say all things must die We are nothing, you and I And that all things are but dreams Life is nothing, only seems And yet this is real to me So good it is to lie at ease Under shade of arching trees Where we taste the salt sea-breeze And let the ships drift by
