Some people must spend part of every day going around hitting "dislike" on random songs.
I’ve listened to this so many times that even my kids know it by heart. Love it!
Great song and a greatest rendition. Julie deserves to be renowned far more than as a Scottish folk singer.
Why? Is "Scottish folk singer" not enough?
@@Trollificusv2 it's enough for this Scottish American😊👍😄
She is in this home.
I could listen to this song all day. Haunting lyrics, fabulous vocals and delicate backing. Tharr barr ar fad.
The whole album is lovely and should be bought by everybody who loves fine music !
I love fine music and it's a haunting and magical album 🙏💚🎶
I imagine Archie Fisher felt pretty comfortable having singers of the caliber of Julie Fowlis and Mary Chapin Carpenter perform one of his songs. I really like the guitar work on here, too.
Such a beauty of a song. The album just as fine. 🇨🇦
These lyrics are so beautiful :
Love will come, and love will go, as the seas roll on forever
And lost love has the everlasting flow of a never-ending river
And it's not an easy reckoning, but sometimes I have the notion
That womankind, and her heart and mind, sails on a restless ocean
A tall ship came from windward away, on a grey Atlantic morning
She showed no lights or colors, in the hour before the dawning
On a full rig run to the rising sun, she reached our starboard quarter
And I'll ne'er forget the name she bore, she was called The Neptune's Daughter
Her sails were white as ivory, and her rigging sang like harp-strings
Her spars were black as ebony, and her wheel spun free of lashings
Her cloak of grey was the spindrift spray, as she split the waves asunder
I can see her now as she crossed our bow, as we gazed in silent wonder
Her course was set by destiny, and no helmsman's hand could change her
We hailed her and we signaled, "you are standing into danger"
But she left us free on the westerly, and I watched her pale sail sinking
And if only I was upon her deck, was all that I was thinking
Love will come, and love will go, as the years roll on forever
Lost love has the everlasting flow of a never-ending river
And it's not an easy reckoning, but sometimes I have the notion
That womankind, and her heart and mind, is a tall ship on the ocean
That womankind, and her heart and mind, sails on a restless ocean
Made me cry. So beautiful.
Lovely singing of beautiful Archie Fisher tune
Fabulous singer, thank you.
Beautiful.
Beautiful song
Heart touching lyrics 💖
This is beautiful I Iove it!❤️❄️🏴
Mary Chapin Carpenter is singing harmony on this song. They are great together. Beautiful song. See them performing together in Britain this January, 2023.
Due to Spotify, my most played song 2018
So very beautiful- 💙really LOVE the musical interpretation & lyrics- òran brèagha! 🎵
Amazing song well done julie..
I followed her because of this song then I found out she sang in "Brave".
Probably want to watch Brave because of her.
I had never cried so much in my life for a ship, not even watching Titanic! T.T
Listen to Stan Rogers. You’ll cry even damn more.
Adorabile Julie FOWLIS
En Spain nos gustas siempre, pero más cantando en GAÉLICO.

Love will come, and love will go
As the seas roll on forever
And lost love has the everlasting flow
Of a never-ending river
And it's not an easy reckoning
But sometimes I have the notion
That womankind, and her heart and mind
Sails on a restless ocean
A tall ship came from windward away (A tall ship came from windward away)
On a grey Atlantic morning (On a grey Atlantic morning)
She showed no lights or colours (She showed no lights or colours)
In the hour before the dawning (In the hour before the dawning)
On a full rig run to the rising sun (On a full rig run to the rising sun)
She reached our starboard quarter (She reached our starboard quarter)
And I'll ne'er forget the name she bore (And I'll ne'er forget the name she bore)
She was called The Neptune's Daughter (She was called The Neptune's Daughter)
Her sails were white as ivory
And her rigging sang like harp-strings
Her spars were black as ebony (Her spars were black as ebony)
And her wheel spun free of lashings (And her wheel spun free of lashings)
Her cloak of grey was the spindrift spray (Her cloak of grey was the spindrift spray)
As she split the waves asunder (As she split the waves asunder)
I can see her now as she crossed our bow (I can see her now as she crossed our bow)
As we gazed in silent wonder (As we gazed in silent wonder)
Her course was set by destiny (Her course was set by destiny)
And no helmsman's hand could change her (And no helmsman's hand could change her)
We hailed her and we signaled (We hailed her and we signaled)
"You are standing into danger" ("You are standing into danger")
But she left us free on the westerly (But she left us free on the westerly)
And I watched her pale sail sinking (And I watched her pale sail sinking)
And if only I was upon her deck (And if only I was upon her deck)
Was all that I was thinking (Was all that I was thinking)
Love will come, and love will go
As the years roll on forever
Lost love has the everlasting flow (Lost love has the everlasting flow)
Of a never-ending river (Of a never-ending river)
And it's not an easy reckoning (And it's not an easy reckoning)
But sometimes I have the notion (But sometimes I have the notion)
That womankind, and her heart and mind
Is a tall ship on the ocean
That womankind, and her heart and mind (That womankind, and her heart and mind)
Sails on a restless ocean (Sails on a restless ocean)
