Well I, I have a man but he's not at home
He left me for the sea and now I'm alone
And I can't face the day
At night you hear me pray
My bed is so empty and cold

They say I am a fool that I can't see:
There is someone else instead of me
Or is it just the sea, and no one else but me
To kiss your lips and hold you in your dreams

[Chorus]
Oh sailors don't cry but tell me no lie
If your love has died I'll try to hide the tears in my eyes
They say sailors don't cry but please tell me why
So if your love has died I'll have to hide 'cause sailors don't cry

The moon whispers me home, the stars make me smile
I believe you will return after a while
And we will have it all, the world will be our own
We will feel good and you will always stay at home

Oh sailors don't cry but tell me no lie
If your love has died I'll try to hide the tears in my eyes
They say sailors don't cry but please tell me why
So if your love has died I'll have to hide 'cause sailors don't cry
So if your love has died I'll have to hide 'cause sailors don't cry
