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
