What Does The Deep Sea Say

歌詞

She stood on the beach alone And gazed at the misty blue Saying, "Sea, as you hold him to your breast, does he mention my name to you?" Oh, where is my sailor boy? Where is my sailor boy? He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea And he can't come back to me. Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It moans, it groans, It splashes and it foams, And it rolls on its weary way. Oh please tell me deep blue sea Is he sleeping peacefully For the winds from the North Are blowing icy cold. Can you keep him warm for me? If only my grieving soul Some token of love should find If only the waves could show me where he sleeps Then I'd leave this world behind. Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It moans, it groans, It crashes and it foams, And it rolls on its weary way. A beautiful rose one day I placed on the crest of a wave And I said take it please And let it settle home Upon his watery grave. The driftwood I've watched in vain And my rose never came back again So waves take another Message to my love Tell him I'll meet him above. Oh, what does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It guards and keeps My lover where he sleeps And it rolls on its weary way.
