My Lover Went to Sea

I sent my heart across the harbor It came back full of blue Even the sea remembers you And on the boat that brings it back I hear you calling to me "I had to go You'll see" Oh My lover went to sea He heard the call and not from me He was always meant to go The sea was callin' So now I walk along the shore To hear his voice once more And when I reach the port I'll know He had to go I made a life of raising sorrow A child of the sea With no man beside me When the captain called your name I know you did not choose The sea had to take you Oh My lover went to sea He heard the call and not from me He was always meant to go The sea was callin' So now I walk along the shore To hear his voice once more And when I reach the port I'll know He had to go He had to go Oh My lover went to sea He heard the call and not from me He was always meant to go The sea was callin' So now I walk along the shore To hear his voice once more And when I reach the port I'll know He had to go He had to go
