A Song for Europe 1970:
Mary Hopkin - "Three Ships"
Three Ships
I went to the quay as the sails came into view
And I waited at the mooring where I thought I'd catch first sight of you
I wait and I wait, though I knew you couldn't see
It would be another hour till I held you close to me
There were three ships sailing, all with treasure in their hold
One carried silver and the second carried gold
The third carried you, my love, safely home to me
And it held the greatest treasure that had ever sailed the sea
Now here was the day that I'd long been waiting for
When the anchors hit the water, and the boats were pulling for the shore
You stood in the bow of the first one into land
How could I forget the feeling as you reached out for my hand?
There were three ships sailing, all with treasure in their hold
One carried silver and the second carried gold
The third carried you, my love, safely home to me
And it held the greatest treasure that had ever sailed the sea
Though you put the sea behind you, still I know it's got its charms
Until you hear it calling, I'll hold you in my arms
There were three ships sailing, all with treasure in their hold
One carried silver and the second carried gold
The third carried you, my love, safely home to me
And it held the greatest treasure that had ever sailed the sea
There were three ships sailing, all with treasure in their hold
One carried silver and the second carried gold
The third carried you, my love, safely home to me
And it held the greatest treasure that had ever sailed the ѕeа
