BBC National Orchestra of Wales - The Stowaway lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I found a stowaway Upon my ship on Christmas Day I was fair so I gave him a chance "You shouldn't be here, what's your tale? I ought to throw you to the whale" He just smiled and said "Come here, let's dance" [Chorus 1] He said "Borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover upon Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around" [Verse 2] He told me 'bout his girl back home Waiting patient, all alone While we danced, I shed a little tear He closed his eyes, all out at sea I think he danced with her not me I'll just have to wait another year [Chorus 1] He said "Borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover upon Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around" [Verse 3] I think of him now and again I wonder how his journey ends As I sail by on my lonesome sea That stranger with the haunting face Here then gone without a trace Lying with his love, that's where he'll be [Chorus 2] "Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover next Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around" [Chorus 2] "Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover next Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around" [Chorus 2] "Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover next Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around" [Chorus 2] "Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way To be with my lover next Christmas Day And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around"
