This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One day as I rambled down by the seashore
The wind it did whistle and the water did roar
I heard a young girl make a pitiful sound
As she closed her pretty blue eyes
In the water to drown
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
My love's gone and left me
He's the one I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him anymore
She plunged her dear body in the water so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
The wind it did whistle and the water did roar
I heard a young girl make a pitiful sound
As she closed her pretty blue eyes
In the water to drown
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head
My love's gone and left me
He's the one I adore
He's gone and I never shall see him anymore
She plunged her dear body in the water so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes in the water to sleep
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
I will live single all the day's of my life
The shells in the ocean will be my deathbed
The fish in deep water swim over my head

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Excellent rendition of a popular Irish lullaby from "Murder, Misery, and then Goodnight": Hersh's solo collection of traditional folk songs and lullabies she had heard as a toddler when Hersh and her family lived in Appalachia at the time. Note: these are pretty dark, maudin tunes that would make "Rockaby Baby" seem tame by comparison... ps--Colin Meloy of the Decemberists also did a killer cover of "Never Will Marry" with his old band from Montana, Tarkio. Highly recommended!
