My Lover's Gone

Dido

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

My lover's gone

no earthly ships will ever bring him home again

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

My lover's gone

no earthly ships will ever bring him home again

bring him home again



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

My lover's gone

no earthly ships will ever bring him home again

bring him home again
