Dido (21st cent.):
My LoverŐs Gone
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
