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
