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 agai
