[Intro]
the white sail at dusk did not turn around
but something in my heart followed without sound

[Verse 1]
You said no farewell, only lowered your eyes
the harbor was gold under violet skies
I held my hands in the sleeves of my coat
afraid one wave would become a note

[Pre-Chorus]
If leaving must be tender
let me learn to surrender

[Chorus]
White sail, white sail, take my blessing over
do not take the spring from his face
dusk wind, dusk wind, be a little slower
let me love him with silence and grace

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Years will go by with the same blue sea
people will pass and not know me
but every evening when the gulls fly low
I hear your goodbye in the undertow

[Bridge]
No need for forever
we were true together

[Final Chorus]
White sail, white sail, take my blessing over
do not take the spring from his face
dusk wind, dusk wind, be a little slower
let me love him with silence and grace

[Outro]
the white sail at dusk did not turn around
