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
