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 alone While I watch the ocean My lover's gone No earthly ships will ever bring Him home again Bring him home again 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
