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
