I m going away to leave you love
I m going away for a while
But I ll return to you sometime
If I go ten thousand miles
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Oh, have you seen those mournful doves
Flying from pine to pine?
They re mourning for their own true love
Just like I mourn for mine
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
I ve cried myself to sleep each night
Thinking only of you
I wonder if you ll wait for me
To me are you still true?
I ll never go back on the ocean, love
I ll never go back on the sea
No never go back on this blue-eyed girl
Say you ll always love me
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee.
