My lover's gone...

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
