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
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.
