as i watch the sea washing ships to its shores
and watching the sea waves rushing to the shores,
waiting for the time when i will be home
after this fearsome storm with hailstone
i can truly see my love wondering alone
her mind filled with those endless promises i made
i said, i will never leave her to be alone
but with loneliness many tears she shade
a life of a man is a challenge.
you sometimes wonder far from those you love most
alone in thunderstorms as well as in frost
joy in measures few and in places strange,
i left my true love home alone
when i promised to never leave her alone
