Moonfleet Bay Chris de Burgh Hi folks! Thats my version of Chris deBurgh’s "Moonfleet Bay" from his latest Album "Moonfleet and other stories". I think he plays it in "G" but I usually play it in "D". Hope you enjoy it! Intro: ------- Verse 1: Alas poor John he was a prisoner Fortune’s fool for many a day Blinded by that cursed diamond With his freedom he must pay; Verse 2: And so it was for faithful Elzevir Cast in chains for ten long years With never a word of blame or anger Just for John t’was only tears; Pre-Chorus: Oh oh oh only tears Oh oh oh ... Chorus: Blow wind blow and send them home again Set the sails for England’s way Many a heart is grieving for them Bring them back to Moonfleet Bay; And as for Grace she’d still be waiting Waiting for her only love Every night a candle burning at her window Should he come; Oh oh oh should he come Oh oh oh ... Chorus: Blow wind blow and send them home again Set the sails for England’s way Many a heart is grieving for them Bring them back to Moonfleet Bay; Blow wind blow and send them home again Set the sails for England’s way Many a heart is grieving for them Bring them back to Moonfleet Bay; Many a heart is grieving for them Bring them back to Moonfleet Bay;

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'histoire poignante de deux personnages, John et Elzevir, dont la vie est marquée par la souffrance et l'attente. John est prisonnier à cause d'un diamant maudit et, tout en subissant un sort tragique, Elzevir endure douze années de captivité sans jamais exprimer de rancœur. Le refrain fait résonner le désir de retour et de retrouvailles, tandis que Grace, l’amour de John, attend inlassablement son retour avec une lueur d'espoir, symbolisée par une bougie allumée à sa fenêtre. Le contexte semble ancré dans un cadre maritime, où les tempêtes et la quête de liberté font écho à la douleur de ceux qui aiment sans relâche. Cette attente amoureuse se tisse autour de l'idée de la mer, qui devient le vecteur des aspirations et des peines des cœurs en deuil.
