I know it slowly might come across as a ridiculous fan boy,  but I love this one, too! Such a rich record, so much to discover. Awesome.

Read the lyrics now, it is the privateer from Privateering (the song) revisited. He spent a night with one of the dark-eyed ladies and he pressesd her to take a sea green precious stone when she has to leave. Beautiful lyrics to think about.

"Along A Foreign Coast"

In a silhouette the slumbering grove
Against a twilight sky
An arch of stars to span the cove
In dusk, now in dark they lie
In dusk, now in dark they lie

His privateer in anchored and rides
Along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must rise
And so must leave her host
And so she must leave her host

And a simple thing he will press her to take
A seal for their time alone
Set in silver for love's sake
A sea green precious stone
A sea green precious stone

Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

This song fades out too suddenly for me.

Definitely a song that flies under the radar.  Such a lovely melody.

Stunningly beautiful is all I can say to this lovely song. Listened a few times to this in the car this morning and then in our beach hut here this afternoon in Dorset. The tune is absolutely beautiful...

I did the same yesterday, 4 times while driving along a sun lit coast, water shimmering. It was so beautiful. What a wonderful song.

Along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must rise
And so must leave her host
And so she must leave her host


The second stanza is not easy  :think

Guy left the tea bag in for too long, and they made the decision under the influence.
