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 along
While I watch the ocean, my lover's gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
