Rove and Go

Why shouldn't she go she's only ninety? We call her Grandmothers wheelhouse She's one of many where more than the stakes and the jacks were raised Now not just the people of town migrate Think beyond the water, and guide her gently Rove and go love rove and go love Think rove and go love rove and go love So wrap up the glass and stow the table Every hand in the harbour every man that's able On green wood past the grave yard the school and store This land we call home for one day more Think beyond the water, and guide her gently Rove and go love, rove and go love Think rove and go love, rove and go love Rove and go love, rove and go love Think rove and go love, rove and go love Leave the wisdom in the walls and the wishes in the windows Leave the all the footsteps in the floorboards But cry good-bye to the meadows Push pull and haul, the cleverness of man I don't know if we should but I know we can Think beyond the water, and guide her gently So let go and let's go Decisions are made There's nothing left to contemplate Card laid card played Think beyond the water, and guide her gently Think rove and go love, rove and go love Rove and go love, rove and go love Think rove and go love, rove and go love Rove and go love, rove and go love Rove and go, and rove and go, and rove and go, rove and go Rove and go, and rove and go, and rove and go, rove and go
