Dm
My lover's gone
              C      G     Dm
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn
           C      G        Dm
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
            C        G    Dm
I will not watch the ocean

Chorus:
Dm
My lover's gone
             C       G
No earthly ship will ever
  F        G     Dm
Bring him home again
  F        G     Dm
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
