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

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
