Lyrics

Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She 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 she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Written by: Jimmy Kennedy, Wilhelm Grosz
