The Ballad of Bobby Grey
They ran out of daylight, the trail had gone cold
A hand on her shoulder was no comfort at all
Nobody knows what happened that day
Or what became of old Bobby Grey
Down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey
Oh, every year now, same place, the same time
She goes to the peer where, they said their goodbyes
Down by the harbour where the children play
She wrapped her arms 'round him and he sailed away
Now, some say they've seen her sail on the horizon
But I only see her when I close my eyes
Deep in my heart, I think I've always known
That Bobby won't every find her way back home
Down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey
Ooh, down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
A hand on her shoulder was no comfort at all
Nobody knows what happened that day
Or what became of old Bobby Grey
Down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey
Oh, every year now, same place, the same time
She goes to the peer where, they said their goodbyes
Down by the harbour where the children play
She wrapped her arms 'round him and he sailed away
Now, some say they've seen her sail on the horizon
But I only see her when I close my eyes
Deep in my heart, I think I've always known
That Bobby won't every find her way back home
Down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water lies old Bobby Grey
Ooh, down by the water, down by the sea
I hear her daughter calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness, oh, where she lay
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
