Private Hughes Songtext
von The Young’uns

Emily lay fast asleep
Her mother kissed her head
Then she began to weep
And lay alone in bed

Father′s ship had left the key
Taking him to fight
His heart heavy as the sea
He began to write

I'll drop my sweet, a tiny note
In a bottle, on the sea
Just to see, if it will float
And carry my love, home to thee


Emily is sleeping fast
No love to kiss her brow
85 years have passed
The coals are darkening now

But there are footprints in the sand
There′s a knock upon the door
There's a letter in her fating hand
Washed on a distant shore

I'll drop my sweet, a tiny note
In a bottle, on the sea
Just to see, if it will float
And carry my love, home to thee

Ta ta my sweetie
