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
