Archie Noble - As I Went Out One Evening Lyrics

As I went out one evening hmm
To watch the sips sail by
I heard a sweet voice singing hmm
But the singer I did not spy

Her song was fast and flashing hmm
Cut sharp as how lighting sliced the sky
But her voice was soft as candlelight hmm
And echoed of times gone by

I called out to the singer hmm
But no more could I hear the song she'd sung
I waited for her answer hmm
But answer came there none

I searched along the harbour hmm
For the voice that I'd heard for so long
But as I watched and I waited hmm
I knew she must have gone

And so now every evening hmm
Since I first heard that voice sing
I go to the harbour hmm
But I ain't ever heard her again
