1879
A ship it sailed
On the ocean
But all the water
Turned to sand
When He left
He waved to his lover
On his return
He'll take her hand
His lover sat
At the window
Watching all around
Her melt
She struggled for air
In deep water
She wanted to
Tell him
How she felt
The captain
Held his head in his hands
Letting a single tear
Fall
His lover looked down
From heaven
He wondered
Did she love him at all
A ship it sailed
On the ocean
But all the water
Turned to sand
When He left
He waved to his lover
On his return
He'll take her hand
His lover sat
At the window
Watching all around
Her melt
She struggled for air
In deep water
She wanted to
Tell him
How she felt
The captain
Held his head in his hands
Letting a single tear
Fall
His lover looked down
From heaven
He wondered
Did she love him at all
On the ocean
But all the water
Turned to sand
When He left
He waved to his lover
On his return
He'll take her hand
His lover sat
At the window
Watching all around
Her melt
She struggled for air
In deep water
She wanted to
Tell him
How she felt
The captain
Held his head in his hands
Letting a single tear
Fall
His lover looked down
From heaven
He wondered
Did she love him at all
A ship it sailed
On the ocean
But all the water
Turned to sand
When He left
He waved to his lover
On his return
He'll take her hand
His lover sat
At the window
Watching all around
Her melt
She struggled for air
In deep water
She wanted to
Tell him
How she felt
The captain
Held his head in his hands
Letting a single tear
Fall
His lover looked down
From heaven
He wondered
Did she love him at all
