[vonjon]

1. where will I be sailing soon?

2. Where can I see your bright eyes shining?

4, who have been and seen?

5. Where will every beat of her heart be?

6. Who just doesn't see?

7. Of what is my single note a symbol?

8. When came suddenly?

3. I hear the sound of distant drums?

[sandyRoe]

Across the sea, so wild and grey.

[sandyRoe]

1. There's a boat that's leaving soon for New York.

From Porgy and Bess.

[cashier]

I don't want to set the world  on fire.  Vera Lynn

 

[Tuvok]

2 Watership Down?

[sandyRoe]

1 could also be:

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor

Tomorrow for old England she sails

Far away from your land of endless sunshine

To my land full of rainy skies and gales

And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow

Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell

[Romanski]

6. Possibly just "a man". How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see? From Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind".

[kettledrum]

3. Good bye Dolly I must leave you

Though it breaks my heart to go.

Something tells me I am needed

At the front to fight the foe.

Hark! I hear the bugles sounding

And I can no longer stay.

(Can't remember this line!)

Good bye Dolly Gray.
