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
