let her go, let her go over the ocean
a sailor's prayer is only so true as the tide
and the shore runs away over the water
south we go, southward where I cannot hide
I can't hide

long before, you were so wanting to offer
nothing more than your own prompting could find
there, alone, were you so glad for forever?
then turn to stone, turning your back to the tide...

let her go, let her go over the ocean
a sailor's prayer is only so true as the tide
on we go, on we go over the water
a sailor's prayer is only so true as the tide

          on the day, or the night I was
          gone after summertime
          on the day, or the night I was
          gone down to fall
          on the day, or the night I was
          gone after wintertime
          on the day, or the night I was
          not gone at all...

let her go, let her go over the ocean
a sailor's prayer is only so true as the tide
on we go, on we go over the water
a sailor's prayer is only so true as the tide...
