My lover's gone

His boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn

And as I slept I felt him go

Returns no more

I will not watch the ocean

My lover's gone

No earthly ships will ever bring him home again

Bring him home again

My lover's gone

I know that kiss will be my last

No more his song

The tune upon his lips has passed

I sing alone

While I watch the ocean

My lover's gone

No earthly ships will ever bring him home again

Bring him home again
