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
