Away from the Roll of the Sea (Allister MacGillivray) - National Taiwan University Chorus

Performed on 2018/01/01, Taipei, Taiwan Conductor：Fang-Pei Tracy Lien 連芳貝 Pianist：Hsin-Jung Hsieh 謝欣容 Composer & lyrics：Allister MacGillivray Arrangement：Diane Loomer Small craft in a harbour that’s still and serene Give no indication what their ways have been. They rock at their moorings all nestled in dreams Away from the roll of the sea. Their stern lines are groaning a lullaby air, A ghost in the cuddy, a gull on the spar. But never they whisper of journeys afar, Away from the roll of the sea. Oh, had they the tongues for to speak What tales of adventure they’d weave. But now they are anchored to sleep And slumber alee. Come fair winds to wake them tomorrow we pray. Come harvest aplenty to them ev’ry day, Till guided by harbour lights they’re home to stay, Away from the roll of the sea. ────────── National Taiwan University Chorus 台大合唱團 e-mail：[email protected] YouTube：   / ntuchorus   Facebook：  / ntuchorus
