Lyrics Marianne Faithfull – Flandyke Shore

I went unto my own love’s chamber window
Where I had often been before
Just to let her know love unto flandyke shore
Unto Flandyke shore

I went unto my love’s chamber door
Where I never been before
There I saw a light springing from her clothes
Springing from her clothes
Just as the morning sun when first arose
Just as the morning sun when first arose

As I was walking on the Flandyke shore
Her own dear father I did need
«My daughter she is dead,» he cried
«She is dead,» he cried
«And she’s broken her heart all for the love of thee»
So I hove a bullet onto fair England’s shore
Onto fair England’s shore
Just where I thought my own true love did lay
